We are looking forward to a period of growth and are currently seeking a Programme or Project Risk Manager to join us. This role can be based in any of our UK offices, with hybrid working allowing for a mix of in-office and home-working.

We can offer a welcoming environment to work in, the opportunity to work on exciting projects across collaborative multi-disciplinary teams, and we offer flexible and hybrid working models, within a highly supportive organisation.

You will join a team of recognised risk management experts across the UK, with a variety of global experience in different sectors, who are focused and passionate about industry leading risk management practices.

You will work alongside programme management and project controls experts, providing expert advice on the appropriate risk management activities to assist in the successful delivery of client outcomes. You will provide a service to one or more programmes or projects and will work with Clients across various sectors to develop and deliver tailored risk management solutions on some of the UK’s most exciting projects or programmes.

You will advise on different risk management frameworks and the interaction between project and programme level risk management while collaborating with other project controls functions to achieve an integrated risk management approach. You will undertake risk techniques as necessary, including Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis, and Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis.

Building your reputation with Clients to become their trusted risk advisor will be critical to your success.
