Director Risk Engineering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This position will be leading a team of field risk consultants and be tasked to grow our department in both revenue and staffing. This role will act as an intermediary between insurance carrier partners, risk vendors, and Sentinel clients (internal & external) to maximize operational efficiency via focusing on risk mitigation and partnership development. This role is critical in providing support for our Client Executives in both the area of retention and in the prospecting phase. This role will be required to work with clients as well as with the Sentinel risk team to develop and coordinate safety and risk goals based on data analysis, operational exposures, as well as policy and procedure deficiencies.

Effective and actionable service plans will be put into place and monitored for each risk we engage. Ensuring both execution of the service plan and communication of the plan will be required. Content procurement and creation of safety training to assist our clients in the area of risk awareness and mitigation will be necessary. This includes working with the team to develop topics and content for Learning Management Systems (LMS), which will continue to support our initiatives in the area of revenue generation. The job will include approximately 75% field and client-facing activities and 25% management responsibilities. As the team continues to grow, this percentage will be expected to shift and include more management responsibility and less field work.

The day-to-day field and consulting guidance will be to focus on reducing accidents, occupational illnesses, and exposure to long-term health hazards through safety-training, planned inspections, emergency preparedness, employee training events, best-practices for safety, and job hazard analysis (JHA) procedures. You and the risk team will assist clients with guidance related to compliance for government and other agencies such as NFPA, OSHA, and DOT.
