Job Description

Project Risk Manager - Energy Sector
 Location: Hybrid - primarily remote working with 1 day/week in Birmingham Office
 Contract Type: Contract (12 months+)

About the Role
 As the energy sector undergoes rapid transformation - from large‑scale renewables to complex infrastructure upgrades - effective risk management has never been more critical. We're looking for a Project Risk Specialist who can embed themselves within high‑profile energy projects and drive robust, forward‑looking risk practices that support safe, efficient, and resilient delivery.
 This is an opportunity to influence major programmes that contribute directly to the UK's energy security, decarbonisation goals, and long‑term sustainability.

Key Responsibilities
 * Actively integrate within multidisciplinary project teams, attending project meetings and building strong, trusted relationships with Project Directors and Senior Project Managers across generation, transmission, distribution, or renewable energy portfolios.
 * Lead and facilitate risk workshops, providing constructive challenge and assurance to ensure risks are fully understood, well‑articulated, and effectively managed.
 * Coordinate pre‑work and follow‑ups with stakeholders to ensure workshops are productive and aligned with project milestones.
 * Develop and present monthly project risk dashboards, offering clear insights into risk exposure, trends, and potential impacts on cost, schedule, safety, and regulatory compliance.
 * Support Quantitative Schedule & Cost Risk Assessments (QSRAs / QCRAs), applying a solid understanding of probabilistic techniques to help inform decisions, contingency setting, and scenario planning.
 * Maintain the Active Risk Manager (ARM) system, ensuring accurate, timely, and high‑quality data feeds into monthly reporting cycles and governance forums.
 * Engage with the wider risk community, sharing best practice, contributing to continuous improvement, and supporting colleagues across the energy portfolio.

About You
 You bring a strong grounding in project risk management, ideally gained within the energy, utilities, infrastructure, or engineering sectors. You're confident engaging with technical and non‑technical stakeholders, comfortable challenging assumptions, and motivated by helping major projects deliver safely, sustainably, and on time.
 You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy working in a sector that is evolving rapidly and want to contribute to projects that have real national impact.

What We Offer
 * The chance to work on flagship energy projects shaping the UK's future
 * A collaborative, inclusive environment with a strong safety and sustainability culture
 * Professional development opportunities, including risk, QSRA / QCRA, and project controls training
