About the Role

We are recruiting for a Senior Project Risk Manager to join a team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, supporting the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) Project. ALS-U is a DOE capital project that will upgrade the Laboratory’s Advanced Light Source, a 1.9 GeV storage ring operating at 500 mA, with a multibend achromat lattice design, producing a soft x-ray source 100 to 1,000 times brighter than what is available today. In this role you will lead, administer, and continuously improve the ALS-U integrated risk-management program, covering technical, cost, schedule, procurement, installation, operational, organizational, and external risks and opportunities. You will provide independent, objective, decision-ready risk information to Project leadership, working closely with the Project Director, Project Manager, Chief Engineer, Technical Project Managers, Project Controls Manager, Control Account Managers, functional leads, risk owners, Laboratory management, the Department of Energy, and external review committees. The work is performed in accordance with DOE Order 413.3B, DOE risk-management guidance, the approved ALS-U Project Execution Plan, the ALS-U Risk Management Plan, and applicable Laboratory policies and procedures.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and administer the project risk-management program: maintain the Risk Management Plan, risk taxonomy, scoring criteria, and governance cadence, and serve as the principal project advisor on risk-management matters.
• Maintain the project risk register and associated configuration-controlled records, documenting risk ownership, affected Work Breakdown Structure elements, triggers, handling strategies, mitigation actions, due dates, retirement criteria, and residual exposure.
• Facilitate the Risk Management Board, focused risk reviews, project-wide risk workshops, subsystem risk reviews, schedule-risk sessions, lessons-learned reviews, and targeted risk deep dives.
• Develop and maintain integrated cost and schedule risk-analysis models; perform Monte Carlo simulation, sensitivity and scenario
