About Omar Amin

As a dedicated and versatile Civil Engineer, I bring a unique blend of design, construction, and field engineering experience to every project I undertake. Over the years, I’ve honed my technical expertise and practical knowledge across various stages of engineering—from initial planning and design to execution and completion in the field.My journey in the construction industry has not only strengthened my problem-solving abilities but also refined my skills in managing complex projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and with exceptional quality. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy collaborating with teams to navigate challenges and deliver results.In my field risk engineering experience, I’ve had the opportunity to assess and mitigate risks for a variety of commercial properties, where I’ve applied my engineering expertise to identify potential hazards, improve safety protocols, and enhance overall structural integrity. By conducting thorough site evaluations, risk assessments, and implementing proactive solutions, I’ve been able to reduce liabilities and ensure compliance with industry regulations. In addition to my engineering background, I am deeply invested in real estate, including home flipping and property development. I leverage my engineering experience to assess properties, plan renovations, and build from the ground up, combining my passion for construction with strategic investment insights. This dual expertise allows me to approach both civil engineering and real estate with a comprehensive, results-driven mindset.I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals, industry leaders, and collaborators.

Experience

1. Field Risk Engineer

   AIG

   Jun 2021 — Present · New York, NY, US

   As a field risk engineer, I play a critical role in helping the insurer assess, manage, and mitigate risks associated with the properties or businesses insured. This requires evaluating potential risks in the physical environments of insured properties and providing recommendations to reduce loss potential. Responsibilities include:1. Site Inspections• Visit client locations to inspect the property and operations.• Identify potential hazards or risk factors like fire hazards, machinery issues, or structural weaknesses.• Inspections cover the physical infrastructure, safety measures, emergency preparedness plans, and compliance with relevant regulations.2. Risk Assessment• Evaluate both the current risks and the likelihood of certain events happening (e.g, fire, water damage, theft, etc.).• Assess the quality of risk controls in place (e.g, fire suppression systems, security systems, employee safety protocols).• Provide a detailed report of the risks based on the industry, location, and size of the business.3. Risk Mitigation Recommendations• Provide recommendations on improving risk management practices, such as improving fire safety, upgrading electrical systems, upgrading sprinkler systems, or implementing new safety protocols.• Recommend physical changes to the property (e.g, installing sprinklers or fire alarms) or operational changes (e.g, staff training, hazard control measures).4. Loss Prevention• Field risk engineers aim to help prevent claims by guiding businesses on how to minimize risks.• They work closely with the client to ensure compliance with safety standards and industry best practices.• They may assist in developing emergency preparedness or disaster recovery plans.
