- Facilitate project-wide risk workshops, subsystem risk reviews, schedule-risk sessions, lessons-learned reviews, and targeted risk deep dives.
- Participate in technical, procurement, vendor-performance, installation-readiness, commissioning-readiness, staffing, space, logistics, and other project reviews to identify relevant risks and opportunities.

- Perform Monte Carlo simulation, sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, estimate-uncertainty analysis, schedule-uncertainty analysis, risk correlation, and confidence-level assessment.
- Evaluate the realism and quality of probability distributions, risk impacts, estimate uncertainty, schedule uncertainty, correlation assumptions, mitigation assumptions, and retirement timing.
- Coordinate with Project Controls to map risk events and mitigation actions to P6 activities, milestones, cost estimates, control accounts, critical and near-critical paths, schedule margin, and contingency forecasts.
- Evaluate cost and schedule contingency adequacy and changes in exposure.
- Reconcile modeled exposure with available contingency, realized risks, retired risks, emerging threats, and approved baseline changes.
- Interpret quantitative results for technical and nontechnical audiences, including principal risk drivers, assumptions, limitations, sensitivity, and changes from prior analyses.
- Support baseline-change proposals, recovery plans, acceleration strategies, funding scenarios, independent cost reviews, and DOE reviews.
- Conduct forward-looking assessments of critical-path and near-critical-path work.
- Evaluate vendor-delivery exposure, staffing constraints, funding scenarios, workspace limitations, installation sequencing, technical interfaces, construction readiness, commissioning readiness, and off-project dependencies.
- Assess risks associated with design maturity, procurement performance, fabrication, installation, testing, commissioning, and transition to operations.
- Evaluate proposed management decisions, baseline changes, recovery strategies, and acceleration scenarios for secondary effects and changes in risk exposure.
- Monitor external dependencies, including DOE actions, funding profiles, regulatory approvals, tariffs, supply-chain conditions, institutional commitments, labor availability, and interfacing organizations.
- Support management assessments and focused analyses requested by project leadership.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, project management, business, economics, applied mathematics, statistics, or a related discipline, and at least eight years of progressively responsible experience in project risk management, project controls, cost estimating, scheduling, or management of complex capital projects; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

- Experience producing executive-level risk assessments and defending methodology, assumptions, and results before senior management or independent reviewers.
- Experience working across technical, project-management, project-controls, procurement, construction, operations, and institutional support organizations.
- Strong analytical writing, presentation, facilitation, and executive-communication skills.
- Ability to challenge unsupported assumptions, raise unfavorable information, and escalate material concerns while maintaining constructive working relationships.
