Permanent
We are recruiting for a Risk Management Specialist to join the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), supporting the delivery of Sizewell C - a new 3.2-gigawatt power station that will provide reliable, low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes and help secure the UK's energy future for decades to come. This is a unique opportunity to take your risk management skills to a nationally significant project, making a real impact on infrastructure and society.
In this role, you will be at the heart of project delivery, working with a diverse and high-performing team to ensure risk is identified, understood, and effectively managed across the programme. You'll play a key part in keeping the project on track and on target, contributing to its overall success and positive community impact.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting the Section Risk Management Lead in developing and maturing the risk picture for your allocated section.
- Ensuring risk management data is robust, up-to-date and ready for modelling, supporting the successful delivery of the TOC programme.
- Taking an active role in the CWA risk management team's monthly reporting cycle and contributing to the development of Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) when required.
- Managing day-to-day risk threats and opportunities, ensuring full compliance with CWA risk management procedures.
- Scheduling and leading regular risk management activities, including meetings, reviews and workshops.
- Facilitating the identification, analysis and mitigation of risk, drawing in the right people and subject matter experts for effective decision-making.
- Keeping risk registers updated and ensuring risks are appropriately treated, reported, and monitored.
- Preparing regular reports on risk status for project managers, and supporting risk assurance and governance processes.
- Coordinating risk and value management activities and supporting processes across the Alliance.
- Developing risk-sharing mechanisms that foster collaboration within CWA and with our client.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
