Assistant Risk Engineer Jobs in Houston, TX (NOW HIRING)

At AIG, we are reimagining the way we help customers to manage risk. Join us as a Marine Risk Consultant to play your part in that transformation. It's an opportunity to grow your skills and experience as a valued member of the team.
Make your mark in Marine Risk Consulting
Marine Risk Consulting is critical to overall risk assessment and support to the Underwriters, and in the winning, and retaining of Marine clients. The zonal/regional Marine Risk Consultant is a technical expert in maritime and security operations, and is normally the connection between the client, the Underwriter, third-party Surveyors, and sometimes the broker. The Marine Risk Consultant performs an important function linking and addressing Underwriting concerns, valid Broker requirements, details and evaluation of an account such as natural and other perils, technical issues, CoE Risk Engineering data management and review processes, and the field Loss Control surveying activities. By building a strong relationship with all parties, the Marine Risk Consultant becomes a major component in AIG winning and retaining accounts and for communicating issues about risk in a transparent, reasoned and trust-building manner.
