VP, Principal Resilience Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION

Chubb has made community-scale climate resilience a strategic priority, with executive support and the resources needed to operate on a national scale.

The Vice President, Principal Resilience Engineerwill provide engineering leadership for Chubb's Community Resilience Initiative, connecting building design, construction, and community-scale mitigation with measurable reductions in damage, disruption, and insured losses.

We are looking for an experienced, creative engineer who can move beyond code compliance to ask:What will meaningfully reduce long-term risk for the community, at various scales of intervention, and how can we demonstrate that it works?The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in one or more perils, including wildfire, coastal and inland flooding, wind, and severe storms, together with a strong understanding of how buildings are designed, constructed, retrofitted, and maintained.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President, Global Resilience and Risk Consulting, and working hand-in-hand with the Vice President, Community Resilience, the Principal Resilience Engineer will work across Chubb's risk consulting, underwriting, catastrophe modeling, claims, and analytics teams, as well as with external stakeholders, including property owners, developers, community associations, local governments, and utilities.

The Principal Resilience Engineer will be responsible for establishing the technical basis for verified risk reduction and modeled loss reduction that supports community-scale resilience investments.

They will be the technical backing to inform where verified risk reduction may support improved insurance availability, capacity, and responsible business growth, in collaboration with Underwriting, Actuarial, Catastrophe Modeling, and Risk Engineering.

This position offers a flexible location, with travel expected to support project delivery in targeted communities and key stakeholder engagements.

Why This Role Matters

Communities need more than information about their climate risk.

They need clear, technically credible guidance about which interventions will reduce losses.

This is an opportunity to shape how engineering evidence translates into resilience investment and insurance confidence.

The Principal Resilience Engineer will help communities understand what to do, help partners implement effective solutions, and help Chubb recognize meaningful risk reduction - supporting safer properties, stronger communities, and the responsible expansion of insurance in catastrophe-exposed markets.
