The Opportunity

Shape the future of large-scale infrastructure projects by leading risk strategy, driving better decisions, and influencing outcomes from the earliest stages of delivery.

We are seeking an experienced Risk Manager to join a high-performing project team responsible for delivering complex infrastructure initiatives. This is an opportunity for a seasoned risk professional to play a critical role in identifying challenges before they arise, guiding mitigation strategies, and helping project teams make informed decisions throughout the design and pre-construction phases.

Working closely with engineering, commercial, estimating, project controls, and construction teams, you will help establish a proactive risk culture that supports successful project delivery while balancing cost, schedule, and stakeholder expectations.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead the development and implementation of project risk management strategies, processes, and reporting frameworks.
Facilitate risk identification workshops with engineering, design, commercial, construction, and project controls teams.
Maintain and manage project risk registers, ensuring ownership, accountability, and mitigation strategies are clearly defined.
Develop risk reporting dashboards and provide leadership teams with clear insights to support decision-making.
Integrate risk considerations into cost forecasting, schedule planning, estimating, and project execution strategies.
Support value engineering, change management, and project optimization initiatives.
Lead Quantitative Cost and Schedule Risk Analyses (QRA) at key project milestones and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
Analyze risk trends, assumptions, and mitigation effectiveness to identify opportunities for improvement.
Maintain transparent documentation and audit trails related to project risks, decisions, and mitigation plans.
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to promote proactive risk management practices.

What You Bring

15+ years of experience in risk management within large-scale infrastructure, transportation, transit, or complex construction environments.
Experience supporting major projects through progressive design, pre-construction, or design-build delivery phases.
Strong understanding of project controls, cost forecasting, scheduling, and commercial risk.
Experience facilitating risk workshops and working with multidisciplinary teams.
Ability to analyze complex information and communicate clear recommendations to senior stakeholders.
Strong leadership, facilitation, and influencing skills with the ability to challenge assumptions constructively.
Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related discipline.
Professional certifications such as PMP, PMI-RMP, or equivalent are considered an asset.
Experience with risk management tools and quantitative risk analysis software is preferred.

Why This Opportunity

Influence major projects from the ground up – Play a key role during early design and pre-construction phases where strategic decisions have the greatest impact.
Work on complex, high-profile infrastructure programs – Apply your expertise to projects requiring advanced risk management, collaboration, and strategic thinking.
Have a seat at the table – Partner with senior leaders and multidisciplinary teams to shape decisions, challenge assumptions, and improve project outcomes.
Build your professional impact – Lead risk processes, mentor teams, and help establish best practices across a sophisticated project environment.
