This position is based in the greater Fox Valley Wisconsin area including cities like Appleton, Neenah, Menasha, Oshkosh, Kaukauna. This is a remote position working from a home office and reporting to the FM Chicago office.

• Working from a home office and travel to clients' facilities daily (overnight travel is expected to be approximately 45% of the time, the first year). Travel to Natural Catastrophe sites will be required as needed.

Successful Consultant Engineer candidates have the following qualifications:

You will be expected to work independently and should be willing to operate from your home office.
