This role is designed for a seasoned, quantitatively strong, and deeply technical project risk professional with mastery in probabilistic cost and schedule risk analysis, robust understanding of EPC execution, and the ability to design scalable governance across a multi‑project renewable portfolio.

You will serve as the functional owner for project risk processes, standards, tools, and reporting. You will partner with Engineering, Construction, Project Controls, Procurement, Legal, and EPC contractors to ensure early risk identification, strong mitigation actions, and predictable project outcomes from development through commissioning.

The position is based in Downtown Houston with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.  

Key Responsibilities:

Project Risk Framework Leadership:

  • Design, implement, and govern the Project Risk Management Framework across the portfolio.

  • Develop standardized risk processes, templates, thresholds, and governance protocols.

Project Risk Identification & Assessment:

  • Facilitate comprehensive risk identification sessions across Development, Engineering, Construction, Permitting, Grid, Land, and HSE.

  • Maintain high‑quality risk registers with probability–impact scoring, root‑cause mapping, and mitigation tracking.

  • Establish leading indicators to detect emerging risks and deviations early.

Project Risk Identification & Assessment:

  • Partner with PMs and technical leads to define and verify the effectiveness of mitigation actions.

  • Embed risk controls into engineering deliverables, construction execution plans, scopes of work, and procurement strategies.

  • Challenge superficial mitigations and escalate overdue or ineffective controls to leadership.

Construction & Site Risk Oversight:

  • Conduct targeted, risk‑based site visits to validate field conditions, logistics, heavy‑haul routes, civil work progress, electrical installation risks, QA/QC exposure, and commissioning readiness.

  • Partner with HSE on safety‑critical risks affecting construction execution.

  • Track deviations, near misses, early warnings, and emerging site‑based risks.

  • undefined

Schedule & Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis:

  • Lead full Monte Carlo‑based cost and schedule risk analyses using Primavera Risk Analysis (PRA), @Risk, Safran, or equivalent tools.

  • Build and validate risk models including distributions, correlation, and dependency structures.

  • Generate contingency recommendations for budgets, schedules, reserves, and approval gates.

  • Stress‑test critical paths, procurement lead times, engineering maturity, construction sequencing, interconnection timelines, and commissioning readiness.

Qualifications:

  • 10–15+ years of experience in project risk management, project controls, engineering, or construction for large capital projects.

  • Demonstrated mastery in probabilistic schedule and cost risk analysis using Primavera Risk Analysis, @Risk, Safran, or similar tools.

  • Deep understanding of EPC and multi‑contract execution risks (engineering maturity, civil/electrical, long‑lead procurement, logistics, commissioning).

  • Strong proficiency in Primavera P6, advanced Excel modeling, and enterprise risk platforms (ARM, Primavera Risk, etc.).

  • Proven ability to lead high‑impact risk workshops and challenge assumptions with senior PMs, engineering leads, and EPC contractors.

  • Experience building frameworks, governance structures, and portfolio‑level risk reporting.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Controls, or Risk Management.

  • Master’s degree or certifications such as PMP or PMI‑RMP.

  • Experience in utility‑scale solar, storage, or major infrastructure projects.

  • Strong analytical communicator with ability to translate probability‑based results into executive decisions.
