Maintain the project risk register and associated configuration-controlled records.
Serve as the principal project advisor on risk-management matters.
Provide independent and objective assessments of threats and opportunities affecting project scope, cost, schedule, technical performance, installation readiness, commissioning, and achievement of Key Performance Parameters.
Facilitate the ALS-U Risk Management Board and focused risk reviews.
Develop meeting agendas, document decisions, track assigned actions, and elevate unresolved or inadequately managed risks to project leadership.
Establish and maintain a disciplined risk-management process in which assumptions are explicit, ownership is assigned, mitigation commitments are traceable, and material information is communicated promptly.
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.
Develop and maintain risk statements that clearly identify the causal event, affected condition, and potential consequence.
Ensure risk entries include defensible probability, cost, schedule, technical, and programmatic bases.
Maintain complete and current risk information in Safran Risk Manager or another LBNL-approved system.
Document risk ownership, affected Work Breakdown Structure elements, triggers, handling strategies, mitigation actions, due dates, retirement criteria, residual exposure, and supporting rationale.
Identify cross-cutting, systemic, correlated, and compounding risks that may not be visible within individual control accounts or technical systems.
Reconcile risk assumptions with the Integrated Master Schedule, Basis of Estimate documentation, procurement plans, technical maturity assessments, staffing plans, change-control actions, funding assumptions, and other project-control records.
Develop and maintain integrated cost and schedule risk-analysis models using Safran Risk or other LBNL-approved tools.
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.
Qualifications

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.

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.

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience supporting a DOE Order 413.3B capital asset project or comparable federally governed major project.
