Associate Risk Manager
Department: Infrastructure
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: G&T London
Description
At G&T people are central to our mission. Rewarding individuals based on their unique abilities, talent, and hard work, we believe in the quality of experiences and investing in a collaborative culture where all can thrive.
Our Major Projects & Infrastructure sector brings together a number of specialist experts to create a unique pool of talent. We support a diverse range of clients and sectors, and the commonalities we find between major projects allow us to add value through cross-fertilisation of ideas, sharing of best practice, and drawing upon the extensive benchmarking data that underpins our advice.
Projects that we deliver are often large-scale and complex with significant planning and development requirements. There is often a master planning element and major stakeholder liaison across a programme of projects. In this sector, we work on major sites that have significantly different requirements, so bespoke solutions are developed for each project with flexibility built in.
Within our Major Projects & Infrastructure team, we cover a diverse array of speciality areas including aviation, defence, electricity interconnectors, highways, infrastructure, master planning and regeneration, mineral extraction, ports, harbours and marine, rail, Carbon Net Zero, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and manufacturing.
