Construction Field Change & Risk Lead

Organizational Responsibilities

Lead and support project change management and risk management processes across large-scale capital programs and mega-project environments.

Develop, maintain, and analyze risk registers, risk models, and forecasting tools to support proactive project controls and decision-making.

Perform qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, including probabilistic modeling, schedule risk analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and what-if scenario analysis.

Evaluate project risks, contractor change proposals, variation orders, potential change orders, and commercial impacts related to cost, schedule, and execution performance.

Support the implementation and governance of project change control processes, ensuring alignment between approved baselines, project controls standards, and contractual requirements.

Review contractor cost and schedule impacts, validate supporting documentation, and assist in the evaluation of contingency usage, forecasting, and Estimate at Completion (EAC) impacts.

Collaborate closely with project controls, schedulers, cost engineers, project managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to integrate risk management activities with project schedules, cost forecasts, and reporting systems.

Monitor risk mitigation efforts, trend analysis, and corrective actions to support schedule reliability, cost accuracy, and project performance objectives.

Support executive reporting related to project risks, forecasting, change impacts, and mitigation strategies.

Participate in risk workshops, stakeholder reviews, contractor meetings, and project controls governance activities.

Review contract documents and project requirements to support risk identification, change management, and commercial controls processes.

Support continuous improvement initiatives related to project controls, forecasting, risk management methodologies, and reporting standards.
