Risk Lead

Project Risk Identification and Assessment

Identify and assess material project risks, assumptions, interfaces, triggers, impacts, accountable owners, and response plans across assigned EPC pursuits and projects.

Independently challenge whether material risks are sufficiently understood, supported by evidence, and reflected in plans, forecasts, technical decisions, controls, and leadership materials.

Evaluate cross-functional dependencies among execution, cost, schedule, commercial, technical, quality, safety, procurement, commissioning, and owner requirements.

Verify mitigation progress and residual risk, and escalate exposure that is worsening, unowned, unsupported, or not appropriately reflected in accountable team records and decisions.

Assigned Focus — Execution

Assess site readiness, constructability, access, logistics, labor, supervision, subcontractor capability, equipment, sequencing, productivity assumptions, work packaging, and field constraints.

Perform independent reviews of execution plans, mobilization readiness, major work-package readiness, field controls, and recovery strategies.

Monitor leading indicators including readiness gaps, productivity variance, rework, material shortages, subcontractor performance, delayed decisions, and interface breakdowns.

Challenge execution mitigation and recovery actions for feasibility, ownership, timing, evidence, and measurable effect on project exposure.

Assigned Focus — Cost

Review estimates, budgets, commitments, forecasts, contingency, cash flow, margin, trends, and assumptions to identify and quantify material cost exposure.

Challenge estimate basis, quantities, productivity, escalation, allowances, exclusions, contingency, forecast movement, and recovery assumptions using quantitative analysis where appropriate.

Assess whether identified exposure is appropriately reflected in pricing, budget, EAC, contingency, forecasts, and leadership decision materials.

Challenge cost mitigation and commercial recovery actions for feasibility, evidence, timing, entitlement dependencies, and measurable financial effect.

Assigned Focus — Technical

Identify risks related to design basis, codes and standards, owner requirements, interconnection, permitting, site conditions, technology selection, equipment compatibility, quality, and performance guarantees.

Perform independent risk-based reviews of design maturity, technical assumptions, interdisciplinary interfaces, constructability, equipment selections, studies, testing, and verification plans.

Challenge performance, availability, reliability, warranty, deviations, unresolved RFIs, late changes, and other material technical assumptions or uncertainty.

Evaluate downstream cost, schedule, commercial, quality, safety, commissioning, and execution consequences of technical decisions and recommend additional review or escalation when warranted.

Mitigation, Decision Support, and Collaboration

Challenge mitigation actions for completeness, feasibility, accountable ownership, timing, and objective evidence of risk reduction, transfer, recovery, or acceptance.

Provide independent risk input to proposals, DRC reviews, contract negotiations, baseline and readiness reviews, project deep dives, recovery planning, and leadership decisions as applicable.

Prepare concise risk assessments, trend views, decision briefs, and executive summaries and maintain accurate records of supported risks, actions, escalations, decisions, and evidence.

Capture recurring lessons learned and recommend practical process, control, standard, planning, or governance improvements.
