- Arrange a risk workshop with the Client to discuss the current risk register for the Program of Works. As part of the workshop, you shall jointly review with the Client and update the register and formulate a specific strategy, based on the Project Scope of Services Risk Policy, for identifying and managing project risks and opportunities. The strategy will focus on establishing a uniform approach to risk identification and management across the Project, as well as the frequency of formal Risk Review sessions.
- Prepare and include as part of the PMP a Risk Management Plan, and ensure it is updated as and when required for the duration of the appointment.
- Work with the Client and other Consultants appointed by the Client, as applicable, to define Risks. This should include identifying and capturing strategic level risks, which may in turn include risks potentially outside the control of the Client, and where the ownership of these risks is likely to be held at the highest level in the Client’s organisation requiring executive input to manage the risks.
- Work with internal and external Stakeholders and Committees to monitor, mitigate, continuously update and manage risks using the necessary systems and tools. It is anticipated that the PMO will identify program and project opportunities to capitalise upon where appropriate.
- Due to the number, size, scale and significance of the projects that will exist within the program, risk management will be required at a project level as well (Action Areas).
- Present the principles, techniques and results of risk management in a format that is easily understood by all, with specific measurable results, that demonstrate the effectiveness of strategies adopted. The reporting of risk should be incorporated into the regular weekly and monthly reporting cycle.
- Ensure that risk management is a continuous and live process that measures the effectiveness of planned activities and enables anticipating and responding to change for each project lifecycle with regards to impacts on the schedule as well as wider corporate and enterprise impacts.
- Ensure timely identification, assessment and establishment of mitigation measures to manage risk in order to minimise the effect on the program and project capital and operating costs, program and performance. Management of the identified risks will be an on-going process led by the PMO and requiring the input and involvement of the Client, designers, other service providers, Contractors and other stakeholders.
- Produce, regularly update and monitor a SWOT matrix analysis and shall be updated through the lifecycle of projects.
- Identify, in the case of opportunities, the opportunity and recommend a course of action to the Client to implement and/or maximise the opportunity together with an estimate of resultant time and/or cost benefits and level of expenditure required to achieve the anticipated benefits.
- Provide feedback, where relevant, on program-wide risk management and opportunity management to designers and Contractors at a project level based on identified best practice and lessons learned in order to ensure the Client derives the benefit of ongoing assessment and management of risk at a program level.
- Technically proficient in one or more risk management tools (i.e. Active Risk Manager, Primavera Risk Analysis, etc).
- Proficient with quantitative cost and schedule analysis using Monte Carlo simulation techniques
- Ability to work with diverse stakeholders at all levels in order to negotiate win-win situations.
- Relevant Degree Qualification, with a mininimum 15 years experience.
- Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to meet deadlines in a highly pressurized and ever-changing work environment
- High degree of competency in the use of Microsoft Office software (Excel, Word & Power Point)
- Previous experience in PMO/PMC and project delivery on significant schemes.
- Strong presentation, interpersonal, and public speaking skills.
- Exceptional project management skills highlighting organization, time management, and flexibility.
- Proven competence in overseeing multiple packages of work simultaneously, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget.
- Strong problem-solving capabilities, analytical skills, and the ability to evaluate intricate design challenges and propose innovative solutions.
- Experience working with diverse and cross-functional team disciplines, fostering effective collaboration and integration of various stakeholders.
- Adaptability and ability to work in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines.
- Upholding the highest standards of professional ethics, ensuring transparency and integrity in all interactions.
- Flexibility in adapting to changing project requirements and a commitment to continuous learning in the industry.
- Previous Saudi Arabia/GCC experience is preferred.
