Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Risk Manager with a strong background in the UK water sector to join our infrastructure consultancy team. In this role, you will be embedded directly into a major regional water utility's capital delivery and operational framework, providing high-level risk management expertise across complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
You will act as a strategic advisor, driving robust quantitative and qualitative risk analysis, establishing risk frameworks, and championing a culture of proactive risk mitigation.
Key Responsibilities

- Quantitative & Qualitative Analysis: Facilitate risk identification, assessment, and scoring across capital projects and operational programmes. Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) for both cost and schedule (using Primavera Risk Analysis, @RISK, or similar tools).
- Stakeholder Facilitation: Lead regular risk review workshops with project managers, technical leads, and senior executive stakeholders to continuously identify, update, and manage project, programme, and enterprise risks.
- Risk Mitigation Strategy: Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and delivery teams to define, monitor, and report on effective risk response plans and control measures.
- Contingency Management: Work closely with commercial and financial teams to establish and manage risk contingency drawdown, risk budgets, and change management procedures.
- Reporting & Insights: Produce clear, executive-level risk dashboards, heatmaps, and formal risk reporting to support decision-making, governance boards, and regulatory reporting cycles.
