Job Description:
The mission at Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, Inc.
(BakerRisk) is to manage hazards and risks through high-value
services, products, and research. The BakerRisk Protective
Structures Section completes this mission through the evaluation
and design of structures exposed to extreme loading conditions such
as blast, thermal, and high-velocity impacts. We design buildings
to protect people in potentially hazardous working environments,
design manufacturing bays to contain the effects of accidental
explosions, and collaborate with government agencies to design
spaces to protect occupants from potential hostile threats. Our
design and evaluation approaches continue to be validated and
expanded through research, testing, and the investigation of
catastrophic events such as explosions, fires, and toxic material
releases. BakerRisk operates two test facilities, the Wilfred E.
Baker Test Facility and Box Canyon Test Facility, where both scale
and full-scale testing of building structures can be completed.
BakerRisk has a collaborative work environment where coordination
with other technical disciplines at BakerRisk, Process Safety and
Blast Effects, is encouraged to develop a solution to manage
hazards and risk.
