Remote Process Engineering Manager Jobs in Tennessee

Hanover’s Specialty Industrial Property team is seeking a Senior Risk Engineering Consultant with deep property risk engineering expertise to support highhazard industrial accounts. This 100% propertyfocused role is ideal for a technically strong, mechanically inclined engineer with expertise in complex manufacturing operations and fire protection systems.

Experience evaluating highhazard occupancies—such as plastics manufacturing, aerosols, perfumes, sawmills, and other combustible or sprinklerdependent operations—is required. Strong sprinkler system knowledge is essential, as is experience in the standard and middlemarket property space with modern manufacturing risks.

This role requires excellent technical judgment, time management, and consultative skills, along with the ability to assess evolving industrial processes.

This full-time, exempt position is fully remote and open to candidates based in Tennessee with the ability to travel within region. The level is flexible, and professionals with proven highhazard property experience are encouraged to apply.
