Job summary

Luster National, Inc. seeks a senior Risk Manager to lead risk management for large heavy civil infrastructure programs in the Los Angeles area. You will manage risk registers, run quantitative analyses, and guide contingency planning across budgets exceeding $500M.

Ideal candidates bring 10+ years of risk, CPM scheduling knowledge, and experience with Primavera/Deltek tools; certifications such as PMI-RMP or PMP are preferred. Role involves cross‑functional coordination and executive reporting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, construction engineering, or engineering management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the program’s risk management plan, process, and governance framework, aligned with contract requirements and funding agency standards.
• Facilitate risk identification and assessment workshops with program staff, designers, and contractors, keeping the program risk register current with ranked threats and opportunities.
• Quantify cost and schedule exposure through Monte Carlo or comparable simulation, and convert results into contingency recommendations tied to a stated confidence level.
• Analyze the baseline schedule and monthly updates for logic, calendar, and float integrity, and evaluate whether the schedule carries the exposure the risk register says it does.
• Track mitigation actions to closure, hold action owners to their committed dates, and escape where mitigation has stalled.
• Evaluate change proposals, delay claims, and time impact analyses for program exposure, and support the program’s negotiating position with quantified cost and schedule findings.
• Review risk allocation in procurement and contract documents, and recommend terms that place each risk with the party best able to carry it.
• Reconcile the risk position against cost forecasts, schedule updates, and change logs so risk drivers trace to specific time and cost outcomes, and report exposure through dashboards and written briefs.
• Coordinate risk across third‑party interfaces, including utility owners, railroads, and adjacent contracts, and on active facilities that have to keep operating through construction.
• Prepare the risk and contingency sections of funding submittals, board packages, and independent oversight reviews, and defend the assumptions behind them.
• Calibrate models against actual program outcomes, benchmark contingency draw against comparable programs, and improve the risk process as the program produces lessons.
