Project Risk Manager

Accountabilities

• Lead the regional project risk management programme, establishing consistent governance, standards, methodologies, processes, and escalation requirements across the portfolio.


• Integrate risk management across the full project lifecycle and key functions, including engineering, procurement, construction, project controls, commercial, commissioning, and operations readiness.


• Provide independent risk oversight and constructive challenge to project and functional leaders, ensuring material risks and opportunities receive appropriate attention.


• Establish a proactive risk culture focused on early identification, clear ownership, accountability, timely escalation, and risk-informed decision-making.


• Own and oversee project risk registers, ensuring significant risks have defined owners, mitigation strategies, action plans, residual assessments, and escalation paths.


• Assess key delivery risks covering design, permitting, grid connections, procurement, long-lead equipment, construction, contracts, commercial performance, commissioning, energisation, and capacity delivery.


• Consolidate project-level risks at regional level to identify emerging, systemic, correlated, and concentration risks.


• Lead qualitative and quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis, including Monte Carlo simulation, schedule risk analysis, scenario analysis, and probabilistic techniques.


• Assess cost exposure, schedule uncertainty, critical-path risks, key milestones, and confidence in achieving committed delivery and ready-for-service dates.


• Develop risk-based recommendations for project contingency and management reserves, and support effective governance of contingency utilisation and release.


• Produce clear executive reporting, dashboards, and analytics covering risk exposure, trends, mitigation effectiveness, concentrations, contingency, and delivery confidence.


• Monitor mitigation actions, overdue items, changes in exposure, realised risks, and issues requiring project, regional, or executive escalation.


• Conduct risk reviews and health checks to assess the quality and effectiveness of risk identification, analysis, mitigation, reporting, and governance.


• Test key assumptions, forecasts, contingency requirements, mitigation strategies, and confidence levels to ensure material exposures are understood and appropriately communicated.


• Identify recurring risks, systemic weaknesses, successful mitigation approaches, and lessons learned across projects, using these insights to improve future delivery.


• Act as a trusted regional subject matter expert, advising project, regional, and executive leadership on risk-related decisions and priorities.

Requirements

• Degree in engineering, construction management, project management, business, finance, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.


• Significant experience in risk management, project controls, or project delivery within complex EPC, construction, infrastructure, energy, mission-critical, or major capital programmes.


• Demonstrated experience leading project and portfolio risk management, including identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring, escalation, and assurance.


• Strong understanding of cost, schedule, contingency, and project controls principles and how they integrate with project risk management.


• Advanced experience with quantitative risk analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, cost and schedule risk analysis, scenario analysis, and probabilistic techniques.


• Strong knowledge of EPC contracting, procurement, supply chain, change management, claims, and commercial risk.


• Proven ability to influence and constructively challenge senior project and functional leaders in complex, fast-paced environments.


• Excellent written, verbal, facilitation, and executive communication skills, with the ability to translate complex risk information into clear business insights and actionable recommendations.


• Ability to identify systemic and correlated risks across multiple projects and translate them into meaningful regional-level insights.


• Experience with project or enterprise risk management platforms and their integration with scheduling, cost management, and reporting systems is advantageous.


• Experience delivering hyperscale, AI, mission-critical, or large-scale data centre programmes is desirable, particularly exposure to power, cooling, grid connections, long-lead equipment, commissioning, and capacity delivery.


• Relevant professional certification such as PMI-RMP, PMP, APM, AACE International, IRM, or an equivalent risk or project management credential is desirable.


• Working knowledge of recognised risk management frameworks such as ISO 31000 and PMBOK, as well as relevant quality, health and safety, and environmental standards, is beneficial.


• Familiarity with tools such as @Risk, Riskonnect, Safran, or comparable industry-standard risk management software is an advantage.

• Competitive salary based on the value and responsibilities of the role rather than previous compensation.


• Equity participation, providing an opportunity to share in the organisation’s long-term success.


• Retirement or pension contributions.


• Comprehensive healthcare, wellbeing, and insurance benefits.


• Generous annual vacation allowance.
