Job description
Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm. We create and operate intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to the climate emergency and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development. Our 20,500 employees operate across over 100 countries, deploying their expertise to develop and deliver cutting-edge innovations and solutions for clients. Through the wide range of our activities, we are central to the collective organization of society and the living environment of citizens all over the world.
The Risk Manager is responsible for establishing, managing, and continuously improving the risk management function across development and delivery activities. The role ensures that risks affecting the achievement of BDC’s strategic, programme, project, commercial, financial, operational, and delivery objectives are proactively identified, assessed, owned, treated, monitored, and escalated.
The Risk Manager will work closely with management, EGIS, project teams, consultants, contractors, procurement, commercial, finance, design, development, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that risk management is embedded into day-to-day decision-making and project delivery.
The role requires a proactive and hands-on approach. The Risk Manager is expected to take ownership of the risk management process, actively engage with risk owners, drive mitigation actions, challenge inadequate or delayed responses, identify emerging risks, and ensure that significant risks are escalated to the appropriate level of management.
The position is not limited to maintaining risk registers or producing periodic reports. The Risk Manager is accountable for ensuring that identified risks are actively managed and has clear visibility of its risk exposure and the actions required to protect its objectives.
Position Context
The Risk Manager will operate within a multi-stakeholder development environment where BDC acts as the client/developer and EGIS provides PMC support. The role will therefore require coordination across multiple projects, workstreams, consultants, contractors, and BDC departments.
The Risk Manager shall ensure that risk management is consistently applied across the project and programme lifecycle, from planning and procurement through design, approvals, construction, delivery, and close-out.
The role shall also ensure that risk information is connected to other project management and control functions, including cost, schedule, procurement, contracts, design, change, quality, and project performance , allowing management to understand the potential impact of risks on delivery objectives.
Main Accountabilities
- Risk Management Framework and Governance
Establish, implement, and maintain the risk management framework for BDC projects and programmes in accordance with approved BDC policies, procedures, standards, and governance requirements.
Ensure that risk management processes are consistently applied across relevant BDC projects, departments, and delivery partners.
Develop and maintain appropriate risk management procedures, tools, templates, methodologies, and reporting requirements where required.
Ensure clear roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities are established for risk identification, assessment, ownership, mitigation, monitoring, and escalation.
Ensure risk management activities are properly documented and maintained as part of the project governance framework.
Promote a consistent risk management approach across BDC and its consultants, contractors, and other delivery partners. - Risk Identification and Assessment
Proactively identify risks that may affect BDC’s strategic and project objectives through structured reviews, stakeholder engagement, project information, workshops, and ongoing monitoring.
Assess identified risks in accordance with the approved risk methodology, including likelihood, impact, overall exposure, and appropriate risk response.
Identify risks associated with cost, schedule, procurement, contracts, design, construction, approvals, stakeholders, resources, interfaces, dependencies, quality, and other delivery areas.
Identify interdependencies between risks, projects, workstreams, and stakeholders.
Identify emerging risks and ensure they are assessed and incorporated into the relevant risk registers.
Challenge assumptions where they may create or conceal significant project risks. - Risk Ownership and Mitigation
Ensure every material risk has a clearly identified and accountable risk owner.
Work directly with risk owners to establish practical and measurable mitigation and response actions.
Ensure mitigation measures address the actual cause of the risk rather than simply recording generic actions.
Establish appropriate target dates, action owners, and success measures for mitigation activities.
Proactively follow up with risk owners and drive actions through to completion.
