Position: Risk Manager – Major Infrastructure Project

Location: 2 days on site (London) 3 days remote
Type: Full-time
Start Date: Immediate

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Risk Manager to join our Project Controls team and play a key role supporting one of the UK’s largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.

Working as part of a major capital delivery environment, you will be responsible for supporting the effective identification, assessment and management of project risks across a complex programme of work. You will work closely with Project Controls, Planning, Commercial, Cost and Project Management teams to provide robust risk insight and help ensure that project decisions are informed by a clear understanding of uncertainty and exposure.

This is a project risk-focused role, rather than an enterprise or corporate risk position. The successful candidate will have strong experience of quantitative risk analysis, QSRA, cost and schedule risk analysis and project risk modelling, ideally gained within major construction, infrastructure, engineering or other complex capital programmes.
