Job description

Egis Advisory Service Line is at the forefront of managing large-scale developments for some of the most prestigious clients in the region, including giga projects, municipalities, and other significant urban and real estate ventures. With expertise in engineering, architecture, and technology, Egis shapes the future of urban spaces and infrastructure. The position will play a key role in driving these visionary projects forward, focusing on the strategic and technical aspects that lay the foundation for successful developments.

Job Description

• Define risk criteria, scoring methodology and evaluation approach, aligned to the client existing enterprise risk framework.
• Build credible failure scenarios across power distribution, potable water, sewerage, stormwater, street lighting, road networks, and fire and life safety systems.
• Assess likelihood, consequence and the effectiveness of existing controls, and set inherent and residual risk ratings.
• Map interdependencies between utility systems and identify single points of failure across the network.
• Lead business impact analysis to establish minimum service levels, maximum tolerable outage and recovery time objectives for each critical service.
• Prepare heat maps, impact summaries and decision material, then facilitate risk appetite and tolerance agreement with executive stakeholders.
• Develop risk treatment options, set target residual risk levels and agree them through structured workshops.
• Run quantitative risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulation to model cost and schedule exposure, test mitigation options and produce confidence based outputs for management decisions.
• Set the distribution assumptions, correlation and iteration basis behind each simulation, and defend them to client stakeholders.
• Present probabilistic results as S-curves, tornado diagrams and contingency recommendations at defined confidence levels, typically P50 and P80.
• Author the business continuity plan covering governance, activation triggers, escalation pathways, role profiles, resource requirements and communication flow.
• Write scenario based operational playbooks with initial response, stabilization and recovery steps, timelines, task owners and interdependency notes.
• Define resource requirements including vendor and contractor call out arrangements, temporary service provision and logistics.
• Support integration of continuity tasks into client SOPs, service level agreements and vendor obligations.
• Design the training needs analysis and training modules, deliver role based training and oversee emergency drills.
• Produce drill reports and lessons learnt reports, and refine the plan against findings.
• Provide peer review on risk outputs produced by the wider team and confirm risk ratings are applied consistently across sites.
• Lead knowledge transfer and handover of the continuity framework to client operational teams.
• Contribute to bids, methodology development and technical proposals within the risk and continuity service line.

Qualifications

• Bachelor degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline. A postgraduate qualification in risk management is an advantage.
• Minimum 15 years in risk management, including business continuity delivery on infrastructure, utility or industrial portfolios.
• Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification in ISO 22301, plus an ISO 31000 risk management credential.
• PMI-RMP, IRM or equivalent risk credential is an advantage.
• Experience running Monte Carlo simulations for quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis, using @RISK, Primavera Risk Analysis, Safran Risk, Acumen Risk or equivalent. Preferred rather than essential.
• Ability to translate probabilistic output into contingency and decision recommendations that non technical stakeholders can act on.
• Experience facilitating risk appetite and business impact workshops at executive level.
• Continuity plans you produced that were adopted operationally, with evidence of drills run against them.
• Understanding of utility interdependencies such as power to pumping, power to lighting networks and water supply to fire systems.
• Fluent in English and Arabic
