Risk Consultant (QSRA)

I’m recruiting on behalf of a leading consultancy for Risk Consultants with QSRA experience to support high-value, complex projects nationwide.

This role suits someone who wants to be hands-on with quantitative risk, not just managing registers. Proper analysis, real influence, and senior exposure.

Key Responsibilities

Quantitative Risk & Uncertainty Analysis (QSRA)

• Lead and support QSRA studies on major programmes and projects
• Build and maintain cost and schedule risk models
• Facilitate risk identification workshops and uncertainty sessions
• Translate risk outputs into clear, actionable insight for clients
• Develop and maintain project risk registers and assumptions logs
• Support risk mitigation strategies and option analysis
• Align risk outputs with programme controls, planning, and cost teams
• Ensure risk processes meet client and industry standards

Stakeholder Engagement & Reporting

• Present QSRA results to senior stakeholders with clarity and confidence
• Produce high-quality risk reports, dashboards, and summaries
• Work closely with planners, commercial teams, and project leadership
• Support assurance reviews and decision-making at programme level

Experience

• Strong understanding of cost and/or schedule risk
• Hands-on experience with tools such as @Risk, Safran Risk, Primavera Risk Analysis, or similar
• Ability to communicate technical risk outputs to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working within project controls or programme environments

Desirable (not essential):

• Background in rail, highways, energy, nuclear, water, defence, or aviation
• Experience working within a consultancy environment
• Understanding of integrated cost, schedule, and risk controls
• Professional qualifications or working towards (APM, IRM, PMI-RMP, etc.)

Why This Role?

• Nationally significant programmes and clients
• Genuine focus on QSRA quality, not box-ticking
• Flexible working and strong work-life balance
• Clear progression within a growing risk capability
• Opportunity to shape how risk is done — not just follow templates

If you’re a risk professional who enjoys quantitative analysis, stakeholder engagement, and working on projects that actually matter, this is a strong opportunity.
