Loss Control Engineer

We are looking for an experienced loss control professional to join our engineering staff.  The primary responsibility will be to conduct property loss control inspections of industrial facilities. 

Additional duties include generating loss control and potential loss evaluation reports, reviewing new construction and providing fire protection advice. Fire code evaluations and negotiations of code alternatives and variances are also done as needed.  Overnight travel, throughout the U.S, is scheduled primarily at the discretion of each engineer and will range from 20% to 40% per month.

In the paint and coatings industry, Verlan engineers are recognized as the undisputed leaders in understanding and evaluating loss control hazards.  Our engineers are also leaders in the code writing community, with leadership positions on the NFPA 30, 30B and 35 technical committees.

Professional development of Verlan engineers is encouraged through professional seminars, the opportunity to work closely with professional engineers and acknowledged leaders in their field, and upward mobility within Verlan. 

Of equal value are: our location, in downtown Silver Spring adjacent to the Silver Spring Metro; a competitive salary; a flexible work week and a generous profit sharing program.  Additionally, our benefits are competitive and include major medical insurance (including dental and vision), long and short term disability insurance, a 401K retirement savings program and a non-contributory pension plan.

This position requires a B.S. degree from an accredited engineering program, or equivalent experience, along with 3+ years of fire protection and/or loss control experience.  Excellent written and oral communication skills are required.  Compensation commensurate with education and experience.
