  • Collaborate with project controls teams to ensure alignment of project data and risk management processes, driving consistency and accuracy across reporting functions.

  • Excellent relationship management and stakeholder engagement skills, capable of influencing decisions and fostering collaboration across multiple teams and functions.
  • In-depth knowledge of current industry risks, emerging risk trends, and best practices in risk management, with the ability to adapt strategies to changing contexts.
  • Commitment to driving continuous improvement in risk management processes and delivering value to clients through innovative risk mitigation approaches.

  • Expertise in at least one risk management tool and a deep understanding of Quantitative Risk Assessment techniques, including Monte Carlo simulations.
  • Demonstrated experience in integrating risk management with other project controls disciplines such as scheduling, cost control, and change management.
