• Provide ongoing risk monitoring and reporting, and communication of updates and actionable insights to decision-makers.
• Serve as a senior advisor on risk management strategies, delivery methods, and governance processes for large infrastructure programs.

You Have:

• A degree in engineering, construction management, project management, or a related discipline.

• Experience with alternative delivery methods (e.g., CM/GC, Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build) and public agency processes.
• Experience facilitating risk workshops and leading risk strategy development on high-stakes projects.
• Familiarity with programmatic risk tools (e.g., @Risk, Primavera, Excel-based risk registers) and strong communication skills with executive-level stakeholders.
