Graduate Risk Resilience Engineer

The Opportunity

• Undertake qualitative and quantitative physical risk assessments of buildings and infrastructure for multiple hazards including earthquake, flood, wind, heat, and wildfire, among others.
• Undertake hazard analysis for multiple hazards, which may include climate change analysis and apply methods to incorporate climate change into hazard models.
• Perform vulnerability analysis of assets considering different types of hazards; apply advanced simulation methods, engineering calculations, precedent research, etc.
• Support the development of risk mitigation, resilience and climate adaptation strategies, when applicable, for buildings and infrastructure projects as well as for cities and communities.
• Apply best practices in risk-based decision making and adaptation planning (e.g., cost-benefit analysis, adaptation pathways).
• Employ and develop automation scripts for risk models and other daily tasks.
• Support the development of project deliverables including reporting, enabling digital platforms, and communicating findings to clients and stakeholders.

• Minimum of a 4-year Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Climate Science or similar. An MS or PhD in engineering, science, or risk management is desirable but not required.
• Basic understanding of computer programming and coding experience to enable hazard and/or engineering risk calculations and results postprocessing / visualization.
• Understanding of basic concepts in risk, statistics and probability.
• Interest in understanding climate change and natural hazard risks and improving the resilience of assets in the built environment.
• Understanding of multi-hazard qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods and models preferred.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to conduct risk assessments, evaluate adaptation options, perform cost-benefit analysis, and develop data-driven recommendations preferred.
• Familiarity with probabilistic risk modeling concepts and methodologies such as FEMA P-58 and HAZUS, or similar preferred.
