• Design, implement, and continuously improve project and programme risk management frameworks aligned with client requirements and industry best practices.
• Facilitate qualitative and quantitative risk workshops with multidisciplinary teams and subject matter experts.
• Develop, maintain, and continuously enhance project risk registers, risk dashboards, and other risk management documentation.
• Review and challenge risk information to ensure data quality, consistency, and transparency for effective decision-making.
• Drive the implementation and monitoring of risk mitigation actions, ensuring accountability across project teams.
• Support project teams in defining measurable and effective mitigation strategies and management responses.
• Perform Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) for cost and schedule using recognised risk analysis methodologies and software tools.
• Analyse project risk exposure and provide recommendations to support project planning, forecasting, and contingency management.
• Prepare high-quality risk reports, dashboards, and executive presentations using Microsoft Office and business intelligence tools such as Power BI.
• Collaborate closely with Project Controls disciplines—including Planning, Cost Management, and Project Management—to ensure alignment of project data and reporting.
• Engage with clients, contractors, and supply chain partners to identify, assess, and manage project risks throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of risk management methodologies, tools, and governance processes across projects and programmes.
