Über diese Risk Manager Stelle bei Luster National
About the Positions
We’re seeking Risk Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. You’ll run risk management on your assigned program, keep the risk register honest, quantify the cost and schedule exposure actually being carried, and set contingency positions that hold up in front of funding agencies, oversight bodies, and a board. Most of the people who do this work well came up through scheduling, estimating, or construction management, so depth in one of those matters more here than a general risk background.
This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Develop and maintain the program’s risk management plan, process, and governance framework, and keep them aligned with contract requirements and funding agency standards.
- Facilitate risk identification and assessment workshops with program staff, designers, and contractors, and keep the program risk register current with ranked threats and opportunities.
- Quantify cost and schedule exposure through Monte Carlo or comparable simulation, and convert the 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 escalate 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.
Attributes
- Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills.
- Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships.
- Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, construction engineering, or engineering management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 10+ years of risk management experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
- Experience facilitating risk workshops and building and maintaining a program risk register across the project lifecycle.
- Experience running quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis and converting the results into contingency and mitigation recommendations.
- Working knowledge of CPM scheduling and cost forecasting practice, enough to test whether a program’s schedule and cost position reflects the exposure in the risk register.
- Experience with industry standard risk analysis and scheduling software (e.g., Primavera Risk Analysis, Deltek Acumen Fuse, @Risk, Primavera P6, etc.).
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, construction engineering, or engineering management.
- Active professional certifications such as PMI-RMP or PMP (PMI), and/or DRMP or CCP (AACE).
- Experience leading the owner’s risk management function on a program exceeding $1B in construction value.
- Experience setting and defending contingency levels in front of executive boards, funding agencies, and independent oversight or audit bodies.
- Experience evaluating contractor delay claims and time impact analyses, including concurrent delay, and supporting the owner’s negotiation position.
- Experience managing risk on bridge and structures packages, on water and wastewater facilities, or across third-party interfaces with railroads, utility owners, and airport or transit operations groups.
- Experience standing up a risk management process on a program that did not have one, and coaching project teams into using it.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Cloud Analytics, or other dashboard KPI reporting software.
