Senior Risk Manager - Construction projects

The Senior Risk Manager will lead the development and implementation of the risk management process on the commission. You will act as the key point of contact for all Risk Management activity across the programme.   

You will be experienced in the delivery of risk management on large construction projects, ideally with experience of data centre construction.

The Project Risk Manager will need to be experienced in workshop facilitation, analysis and preparation of project risk registers.    

Ideally the Project Risk Manager will have experience in quantitative risk analysis on both cost models and project schedules and be comfortable in presenting forecasts and outcomes to clients.  As the client is relying on Turner & Townsend to deliver risk management, it is important that the Project Risk Manager can clearly articulate and present information in a manner which is easily understood.   

The Project Risk Manager must be a strong communicator with good interpersonal skills and the ability to bring energy and enthusiasm to the role.
