Risk Consultant / Risk Manager
National Grid – Great Grid Upgrade £50,000–£70,000 + Paid Travel | Permanent
Are you an experienced Risk Consultant or Risk Manager looking to work on one of the UK’s most significant energy infrastructure programmes?
We’re looking for risk professionals with around 3–7 years’ experience to provide risk management support across National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong core risk management experience who wants to gain exposure to a major, long-term infrastructure programme and continue developing their technical risk capabilities, including QSRA.
What will you be doing?
You’ll provide hands-on risk support to project teams, taking ownership of the day-to-day risk management process and working closely with stakeholders across the programme.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Chairing and facilitating risk meetings and workshops
- Working with project teams to identify, assess and manage risks
- Maintaining and reviewing project risk registers
- Challenging and supporting risk owners on mitigation actions
- Providing clear risk reporting and insight to support decision-making
- Building strong relationships with project and programme stakeholders
- Supporting the wider risk management process across a major infrastructure environment
- Developing your experience in Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA)
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You don’t need to be a QSRA expert from day one. If you have strong risk fundamentals and want to develop your quantitative risk capability, there will be an opportunity to build this experience.
Location & working pattern
Initially, you’ll need to be in Birmingham around 3 days every two weeks, with the remainder working from home.
As the role develops, there will be the opportunity to work predominantly from home.
Importantly, required project travel is paid from your home, making this a particularly flexible opportunity for candidates based across the UK who are comfortable travelling to Birmingham when required.
