- 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.

- 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.
