We are seeking a talented individual to join our team at Marsh as a Senior Consultant for our Property Risk Consulting practice based in the southeast U.S.  While it is preferred to be near one of our offices, it is not a requirement of this role.  

We will count on you to:

  • Technically assess property risk from fire, natural hazards, and related perils, providing expert guidance and leadership on complex client accounts.

  • Collaborate with client brokerage teams to drive beneficial outcomes and support business development efforts to grow the practice.

  • Produce technically sound reports, plan review letters, and consultative client guidance that meet rigorous quality assurance standards.

  • Manage project work plans, budgets, and resources while adhering to company policies and continuous risk improvement methodologies.

  • Maintain client confidentiality and build positive, long-term client relationships through effective communication and problem-solving.

What you need to have:

  • Minimum 5+ years of experience in risk management or property engineering consulting.

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in an Engineering discipline, preferably fire science, fire protection engineering technology, or fire protection engineering.

  • Strong written and oral communication skills with experience preparing professional or technical summaries.

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment.

  • Commitment to professional growth through continued education, certifications, and mentorship.

What makes you stand out:

  • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Certified Fire Protection Specialist credential (preferred).

  • Experience in commercial insurance or brokerage environments.

  • Proven ability to apply national standards (NFPA, FM Global) and diagnostic skills to design and implement risk mitigation solutions.

  • Demonstrated success in business development and client relationship management.

  • Positive, solutions-oriented mindset with a focus on delivering value to clients.

Why join our team:

  • We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work, and supportive leaders.

  • We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients, and communities.

  • Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
