• assist in the investigation, measurement, and negotiation of property and business interruption claims.

Key Accountabilities:

• Provide global support and guidance to assist all division and facilities in developing cost effective solutions for property conservation issues. This includes reviewing the property insurance company’s reports for technical validity and accuracy, prioritizing property insurance recommendations, developing alternatives for existing recommendations that may be more cost effective and practical than what has been recommended and interpreting and applying appropriate codes and standards. Also, visiting facilities to help clarify issues, gain management understanding and commitment and conduct training sessions.
• Develop property protection design criteria for worldwide construction and capital projects to ensure the facility is adequately protected within reasonable costs and in compliance with applicable codes, insurance company standards and internal company standards. Direct the efforts and provide oversight review for engineering consultants and vendors in developing the project construction design and engineering requirements. Project meetings and site visits are held with insurance company representatives, consultants, internal groups and contractors to develop options that will minimize costs, while ensuring an appropriate level of protection, thereby minimizing future property insurance costs. Provide construction site visits to assure vendors are following accepted construction plans.

• Perform property conservation audits and lead a section of the paper mill recovery/power boiler audits. Each audit ranges in duration from three to five days.

Knowledge and Experience:

• An engineering degree or an equivalent technical degree with a minimum of five years experience in the field of property loss prevention and protection, preferably in the forest products industry.
• Requires minimal assistance regarding:
  • Making timely decisions
  • Solving complex problems
  • Providing quality and cost effective service to both global internal and external customers
  • Coordinating internal resources and outside vendors related to large projects while minimizing capital expenditures
  • Reviewing bids and discussing contractor pricing
  • Prioritizing and planning multiple tasks
• Able to effectively communicate (written/verbal) to all levels of global internal and external customers including being able to develop and provide effective presentations.
• Negotiate insurance premium savings as the results of making improvements or increased insurance premium surcharges if improvements are not made.
