Description:
Carmichael are seeking a Risk Manager to join the team working on a Nuclear project based in Cumbria.
• Develop and maintain the project-wide risk management framework aligned with nuclear regulatory requirements and industry standards (e.g., safety case expectations, ALARP principles).
• Identify, assess, and prioritise risks across all phases of civil engineering works (design, procurement, construction, commissioning), including safety, quality, environmental, cost, and schedule risks.
• Facilitate structured risk identification workshops (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP support, constructability reviews) with multidisciplinary teams.
• Maintain and regularly update the project risk register, including flow-down to specific WPOs, ensuring clear ownership, mitigation actions, and status tracking.
• Quantify risks using qualitative and quantitative techniques, utilising ARM (e.g., risk matrices, Monte Carlo simulations for cost and schedule uncertainty).
• Integrate risk management with project controls, including planning, cost engineering, and change management processes.
• Ensure risks related to nuclear safety, radiological protection, and regulatory compliance are rigorously assessed and escalated appropriately.
• Interface with the nuclear safety case team to ensure civil engineering risks are reflected in safety documentation and licensing submissions.
• Monitor effectiveness of risk mitigation measures and implement corrective actions where controls are inadequate.
• Provide risk-based input into contingency planning, budgeting, and schedule float management.
• Support procurement by assessing supplier and subcontractor risks, particularly for safety-critical components and services.
• Ensure compliance with relevant nuclear industry regulations, standards, and client-specific requirements.
• Prepare and present regular risk reports to senior management, clients, and regulators, highlighting key threats and opportunities.
• Promote a strong risk-aware culture across site teams, emphasising proactive identification and management of hazards.
• Conduct audits and reviews of risk management processes to ensure continuous improvement and lessons learned integration.
• Coordinate with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) teams to align risk management with site safety systems and permit-to-work controls.
• Manage interface risks between the Partner Contractors, disciplines, and work packages in a highly regulated, complex project environment.
• Support incident investigations by analysing root causes and updating risk assessments accordingly.
• Ensure robust documentation and traceability of risk decisions to satisfy nuclear audit and assurance requirements.
• Stay current with evolving nuclear regulations, best practices, and emerging risks impacting civil engineering delivery
