Use your experience in the power generation industry or heavy manufacturing to become an integral member of HSB's heavy industry engineering team ... all while primarily working from home! If you have experience as a reliability engineer, plant engineer, maintenance manager, field engineer, or project manager, this could be the next career step for you.

If you become a Principal Account Engineer with HSB, you will visit facilities from paper mills to power plants, consult with site leadership, and analyze the facility's equipment, maintenance, training, and contingency planning. While on site, you will identify possible machinery breakdown or fire concerns, and work consultatively with customers to reduce their risk potential. You will also consult with HSB underwriters on machinery insurance coverage offerings, update guidelines, and teach internal audiences about the process flow, machinery, and potential equipment failures.

As a new team member, you will focus on the industries you are familiar with. As you develop further in this role, you will evaluate businesses in other heavy industries. The team works in many industries, including steel, aluminum, mining, pulp & paper, heavy manufacturing, glass, chemical, traditional power generation, solar, battery energy storage, and renewable natural gas. Team members work cooperatively to support HSB's heavy industry insurance programs.

At HSB, our engineering teams support the insurance and advancement of equipment and technology. We evaluate and insure some of the world's largest industrial, power, and manufacturing sites. Apply to join our growing team!
