Role accountabilities:

In this role, you will lead and contribute to the design and implementation of comprehensive risk management strategies that support successful project outcomes from inception through delivery. You will play a central part in facilitating engaging and interactive risk workshops, bringing together project teams and stakeholders to identify, assess, and prioritize key risks and opportunities. By embedding risk thinking into day-to-day project activities, you will help ensure that risk intelligence is not treated as a standalone exercise, but is fully integrated into decision-making, planning, and delivery processes.

Within this role, you will leverage digital tools, data-driven approaches, and sustainability frameworks to continuously enhance risk management practices across projects and programmes. You will support the optimization of mobility and infrastructure solutions by aligning risk strategies with broader project objectives, resilience goals, and community outcomes. Through your work, you will contribute to the delivery of thriving, connected, and sustainable communities, ensuring that projects are better equipped to manage uncertainty while maximizing long-term value for clients and stakeholders.

• Strong understanding of ISO 31000 or similar risk management standards, with experience supporting the implementation of project or programme risk processes in coordination with risk leads
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with a track record of delivering clear, practical, and actionable risk insights to senior leadership
• Ability to design and lead collaborative risk workshops, mentor team members, and communicate complex risk matters effectively to diverse audiences
