The Risk Engineer plays a key role in identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating risks associated with a construction project. By leading risk management activities, conducting thorough analyses, documenting and following up on effective mitigation strategies, the Risk Engineer contributes to the successful execution of the project while minimizing uncertainties and improving overall project outcomes.

Development Phase:

• Participate in the Risk Working Group and oversee all risk management activities and processes throughout the project lifecycle.

• Develop and maintain the project's risk management register, documenting identified risks, potential impacts, and mitigation strategies.

• Document, facilitate and follow up on risk mitigation plans and actions to address identified risks and minimize their potential impacts on project objectives.

• Assist in development and routine update of the Risk Management Plan.

Alignment with Project Activities:

• Participate in collaborative sessions such as the Cost and Schedule Risk Working Group to align risk assessments with design, scheduling, and cost development activities.

• Ensure that risk management processes are integrated seamlessly into project planning, execution, and control activities.

Risk Identification:

• Collaborate with the project team to identify, assess, track, and manage potential risks (i.e. threats and opportunities) associated with the construction of elevated guideways and stations.

• Utilize risk management tools and techniques to systematically identify and evaluate risks across all project phases.

Risk Report:

• Prepare regular risk reports and updates for project stakeholders, highlighting key risk factors, mitigation efforts, and potential impacts on project objectives (i.e. schedule and cost).

• Implement continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the project's risk management processes.

Risk Analysis:

• Conduct comprehensive risk analyses and assessments to evaluate the potential effects of identified risks on project objectives.

• Utilize quantitative and qualitative risk analysis techniques to assist project leadership in prioritizing risks and allocating appropriate resources for mitigation efforts.

Monte Carlo Simulation:

• Utilize advanced risk management tools such as the Monte Carlo simulation to perform probabilistic analysis and derive risk-based project contingencies.

• Collaborate with the project team to incorporate uncertainty and variability into project planning and decision-making processes to enhance risk management effectiveness.

• Utilize industry standard software tools like Safran or equivalent to perform the Integrated Quantitative Risk Analysis (Cost and Schedule)

Communication Management:

• Engage with project stakeholders, including clients, contractors, subcontractors, and regulatory agencies, to communicate risk management objectives, strategies, and outcomes.

• Foster a collaborative and proactive approach to risk management that encourages open communication and transparency among all project participants.

• Engineering degree, ideally in civil engineering.

• 8+ years working on construction engineering projects.

• Preference given to candidates who have experience working in multi-national joint venture environments. 

• P3 experience considered a strong asset.

• Thorough understanding of risk engineering and safety protocols that are required to be adhered to.

• Strong leadership and people skills.

• Ability to identify and advise on problems and provide solutions.

• Proven ability to make critical decisions and problem solve through complex technical and nontechnical issues.

• Exceptional communication skills.

• Strong technical skillset within the following: inspection, construction and engineering.

• Knowledge of Quantitative Risk Analysis (Integrated Cost and Schedule) techniques and experience in industry standard software tools like Safran or equivalent.
