Project Risk Manager - Energy Sector Location: Hybrid (Client offices in Birmingham, Derby & Bristol) Contract Type: Contract (6 months+) About the Role As the energy sector undergoes rapid transformation - from large-scale renewables to complex infrastructure upgrades - effective risk management has never been more critical. We're looking for a Project Risk Specialist who can embed themselves within high-profile energy projects and drive robust, forward-looking risk practices that support safe, efficient, and resilient delivery. This is an opportunity to influence major programmes that contribute directly to the UK's energy security, decarbonisation goals, and long-term sustainability. Key Responsibilities
- Actively integrate within multidisciplinary project teams, attending project meetings and building strong, trusted relationships with Project Directors and Senior Project Managers across generation, transmission, distribution, or renewable energy portfolios.
- Lead and facilitate risk workshops, providing constructive challenge and assurance to ensure risks are fully understood, well-articulated, and effectively managed.
- Coordinate pre-work and follow-ups with stakeholders to ensure workshops are productive and aligned with project milestones.
- Develop and present monthly project risk dashboards, offering clear insights into risk exposure, trends, and potential impacts on cost, schedule, safety, and regulatory compliance.
- Support Quantitative Schedule & Cost Risk Assessments (QSRAs / QCRAs), applying a solid understanding of probabilistic techniques to help inform decisions, contingency setting, and scenario planning.
- Maintain the Active Risk Manager (ARM) system, ensuring accurate, timely, and high-quality data feeds into monthly reporting cycles and governance forums.
- Engage with the wider risk community, sharing best practice, contributing to continuous improvement, and supporting colleagues across the energy portfolio.
About You You bring a strong grounding in project risk management, ideally gained within the energy, utilities, infrastructure, or engineering sectors. You're confident engaging with technical and non-technical stakeholders, comfortable challenging assumptions, and motivated by helping major projects deliver safely, sustainably, and on time. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy working in a sector that is evolving rapidly and want to contribute to projects that have real national impact. What We Offer
