Are you an experienced Risk Consultant or Risk Manager looking to work on one of the UK’s most significant energy infrastructure programmes?
We’re looking for risk professionals with around 3–7 years’ experience to provide risk management support across National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong core risk management experience who wants to gain exposure to a major, long-term infrastructure programme and continue developing their technical risk capabilities, including QSRA.
You’ll provide hands-on risk support to project teams, taking ownership of the day-to-day risk management process and working closely with stakeholders across the programme:
- Chairing and facilitating risk meetings and workshops
- Working with project teams to identify, assess and manage risks
- Maintaining and reviewing project risk registers
- Challenging and supporting risk owners on mitigation actions
- Providing clear risk reporting and insight to support decision-making
- Building strong relationships with project and programme stakeholders
- Supporting the wider risk management process across a major infrastructure environment
- Developing your experience in Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA)
If you have strong risk fundamentals and want to develop your quantitative risk capability, there will be an opportunity to build this experience.
Initially, you’ll need to be in Birmingham around 3 days every two weeks, with the remainder working from home. As the role develops, there will be the opportunity to work predominantly from home. Importantly, required project travel is paid from your home, making this a particularly flexible opportunity for candidates based across the UK who are comfortable travelling to Birmingham when required.
Requirements:
- Around 3–7 years’ risk management experience
- Strong project or programme risk management fundamentals
- Confidence chairing risk meetings and facilitating workshops
- Experience maintaining risk registers and supporting mitigation activities
- Infrastructure, construction, utilities, energy or major-project experience would be beneficial
Salary: £45,000–£70,000, depending on experience and level, plus paid project travel.
