managed.\n\nUndertake and support Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA) and Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis (QCRA) to assess the potential impact of uncertainty on project outcomes.\n\nDevelop and maintain risk models, incorporating cost and schedule uncertainty, risk events, correlations and appropriate probability distributions.\n\nSupport the development and review of risk allowances, contingency and management reserves, ensuring these are supported by robust quantitative analysis.\n\nAnalyse project cost and schedule exposure and provide insight into P-values, confidence levels, ranges and potential outcomes.\n\nIntegrate risk information with project cost and schedule data to provide a consolidated view of project exposure.\n\nWork closely with Planning and Project Controls teams to understand the relationship between risk, uncertainty, programme and critical path.\n\nMonitor the effectiveness of mitigation strategies and assess changes in risk exposure over the project lifecycle.\n\nProduce clear and concise risk reporting, dashboards and management information, highlighting key exposures, trends, emerging risks and areas requiring management intervention.\n\nProvide risk input into project forecasts, baseline reviews, change management and key project decision-making processes.\n\nIdentify and analyse emerging risks and opportunities,
