Description:

Risk Engineer Services-Marsh Middle East

Marsh is the world’s leading Insurance Broker, providing Risk Engineering services across the globe, for clients in all sectors, from commercial property to conventional power and renewables, through to oil and gas exploration, refining and downstream petrochemicals is seeking candidates for the following position:

Senior Construction Risk Engineer – Vice President

What can you expect:

NEOM is one of the largest projects in the world, it is a new urban area planned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to be built in its north-western Tabuk Province. The site is northeast of the Red Sea, east of Egypt across the Gulf of Aqaba and south of Jordan. The total planned area of Neom is over 25, km2. The city's plans include multiple regions, including a floating industrial complex, global trade hub, tourist resorts and a linear city powered by renewable energy sources. It is one of the most exciting and groundbreaking projects that has been attempted in the region (and across the world). Initial plans for the city were announced in by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, and it forms a key part of the Saudi Vision , which plans to reduce Saudi Arabia's dependence on oil, diversify its economy and develop public-service sectors.

Marsh are currently working with NEOM to support their insurance placement into the market and are also working closely with the lead Insurers and NEOM risk management team to deliver high quality risk engineering services for the project. The intention of this role is to lead (alongside one other Engineer) the overall interaction between Marsh Risk Engineering and NEOM Insurance. The Engineer will be expected to fully manage the Risk Engineering program for NEOM and work closely with the client facing team (both in country and in London) to support a successful insurance program, therefore the ability to communicate to all organizational levels is a critical competency. While Marsh will provide some initial support with training on the job with other experienced engineers, the candidate is expected to be self-starting, able to think of new ideas and solutions to problems and work independently. The candidate is expected to run a best-in-class Risk Engineering program for NEOM, develop tools, technical notes and guidance to deliver a world class service to NEOM and the lead insurers on the program. Given the scope of this role and the seniority, the technical ability will be assessed in an interview alongside the softer, managerial skills that the candidate possesses. This is not an entry level role or one where the candidate needs huge amounts of training to start delivering. Ultimately this is also a consultancy role and therefore the ability to promote Marsh Engineering services and develop new business would be a sought-after capability.

We will rely on you to:

Oversee one of the largest Risk Engineering accounts and programs in the region. Collaborate closely with other Engineers and Marsh leadership to ensure the program is of the highest quality and promote Marsh services across different sectors. Manage the budget and revenue delivery for this account, and potentially for others in the country as well. Conduct construction risk engineering surveys, which are essential for successful insurance placement in the construction industry. These surveys involve visiting project sites, interviewing management teams, and providing detailed engineering reports that include site descriptions, project management processes, loss prevention/mitigation features, site quality rankings, and recommendations for improvement. Depending on the project timeline, there may be a need to conduct pre-attachment or construction-to-operations surveys to support the operational broking team in placing insurance in the property markets. This includes identifying risks and mitigation strategies for the commissioning and early operation stages of a project. Assist the Broking team in placing risks in international insurance markets. Develop and implement Risk Engineering Management Systems specifically for NEOM. Support the enhancement of Marsh's analytical capabilities in assessing project risk quality, making risk recommendations, and identifying exposures. Foster the growth and improvement of the Marsh Risk Engineering Practice by seeking ways to enhance client management, work delivery, and collaboration with other consultants to achieve the best outcomes for the business and clients.

What you need to have: 

Strong knowledge of construction standards, including construction codes, fire testing, NFPA standards, and HSE standards. Ability to identify and communicate risks to clients and propose suitable mitigations. Experience in risk-assessed decision-making. Excellent communication skills across all organizational levels. Ability to work autonomously and take responsibility for client delivery and business development. Proficiency in general office systems such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Familiarity with software packages that enhance risk engineering offerings is desirable. Experience with technical simulation packages for fire modeling, risk assessment, and project execution. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, including the ability to write detailed engineering reports.

Business Acumen:

Ability to articulate business goals and strategies. Adherence to professional standards and best practices.

Client Development:

Ability to identify and develop new business opportunities. Utilization of spheres of influence to expand business.

Candidate Profile: Work Experience:

10+ years of experience in an Engineering role within the construction industry or risk engineering. Experience in managing risks in construction, project management, construction management, or planning is highly desired.

Academic Background:

Engineering degree in Civil or Mechanical (or similar). Chartership with a relevant institution is preferred but not essential.

Physical Requirements:

Based in NEOM. Willingness to travel to the location regularly if not already based there.

What makes you stand out:

Ability to develop and maintain client relationships. Experience in the insurance industry is beneficial. Language skills for work in other countries, such as North Africa and the Middle East (European languages and Arabic
