You’ll run risk management on your assigned program, keep the risk register honest, quantify the cost and schedule exposure actually being carried, and set contingency positions that hold up in front of funding agencies, oversight bodies, and a board. Most of the people who do this work well came up through scheduling, estimating, or construction management, so depth in one of those matters more here than a general risk background.\nThis post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.\nResponsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:\nDevelop and maintain the program’s risk management plan, process, and governance framework, and keep them aligned with contract requirements and funding agency standards.\nFacilitate risk identification and assessment workshops with program staff, designers, and contractors, and keep the program risk register current with ranked threats and opportunities.\nQuantify cost and schedule exposure through Monte Carlo or comparable simulation, and convert the results into contingency recommendations tied to a stated confidence level.\nAnalyze the baseline schedule and monthly updates for logic, calendar, and float integrity, and evaluate whether the schedule carries the exposure the risk register says it does.\nTrack mitigation actions to closure, hold action owners to their committed dates, and escalate where mitigation has stalled.\nEvaluate change proposals, delay claims, and time impact analyses for program exposure, and support the program’s negotiating position with quantified cost and schedule findings.\nReview risk allocation in procurement and contract documents, and recommend terms that place each risk with the party best able to carry it.\nReconcile the risk position against cost forecasts, schedule updates, and change logs so risk drivers trace to specific time and cost outcomes, and report exposure through dashboards and written briefs.\nCoordinate risk across third-party interfaces, including utility owners, railroads, and adjacent contracts, and on active facilities that have to keep operating through construction.\nPrepare the risk and contingency sections of funding submittals, board packages, and independent oversight reviews, and defend the assumptions behind them.\nCalibrate models against actual program outcomes, benchmark contingency draw against comparable programs, and improve the risk process as the program produces lessons.\nAttributes\nExcellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.\nExcellent multi-tasking and organizational skills.\nCollaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships.\nNatural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, construction engineering, or engineering management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.\n10+ years of risk management experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.\nExperience facilitating risk workshops and building and maintaining a program risk register across the project lifecycle.\nExperience running quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis and converting the results into contingency and mitigation recommendations.\nWorking knowledge of CPM scheduling and cost forecasting practice, enough to test whether a program’s schedule and cost position reflects the exposure in the risk register.\nExperience with industry standard risk analysis and scheduling software (e.g., Primavera Risk Analysis, Deltek Acumen Fuse, @Risk, Primavera P6, etc.).\nProficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.).\nPreferred Qualifications\nMaster’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, construction engineering, or engineering management.\nActive professional certifications such as PMI-RMP or PMP (PMI), and/or DRMP or CCP (AACE).\nExperience leading the owner’s risk management function on a program exceeding $1B in construction value.\nExperience setting and defending contingency levels in front of executive boards, funding agencies, and independent oversight or audit bodies.\nExperience evaluating contractor delay claims and time impact analyses, including concurrent delay, and supporting the owner’s negotiation position.\nExperience managing risk on bridge and structures packages, on water and wastewater facilities, or across third-party interfaces with railroads, utility owners, and airport or transit operations groups.\nExperience standing up a risk management process on a program that did not have one, and coaching project teams into using it.\nProficiency with Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Cloud Analytics, or other dashboard KPI reporting software.\nCompensation Details\nExpected Salary: $125k-$200k/year ($60-$96/hour). Luster provides the salary range that the company in good faith believes it might offer for this position based on the successful candidate’s level and years of experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, education, certifications, licenses, geographic location, etc. Luster reserves the right to ultimately pay more or less than the posted range depending on circumstances not related to any status protected by local, state, and/or federal law.\nJust LOOK at the Benefits We Offer!\nUnlimited flexible time off\nPaid holidays\nPaid parental leave\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance\nFlexible spending accounts (healthcare and dependent or elder care)\nLong-term disability insurance\nShort-term disability insurance\nLife insurance and accidental death and dismemberment\n401(k) plan with guaranteed employer contribution\nFormal career planning and development program\n$2,500 annually toward professional development\nWellness program with monthly wellness stipend\nCompany cell phone or cell phone plan reimbursement\nFree personalized meal planning and nutrition support with a registered dietitian\nFree personal financial planning services\nEmployee assistance program\nEmployee discounts\nEmployee referral bonus\nSpecific plan details and coverage for each benefit noted above will be provided upon offer.\nIf you wish to be considered for a position where there is not an active job posted, please search for our 'General Application' and apply. \nLuster is committed to creating an inclusive work environment with a diverse workforce.
