If youre an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging youve come to the right place.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Risk & Change Manager maintains the project risk register and drives mitigation ownership and manages the change order process from identification through approval for a data center build. On a fast program unmanaged risk becomes unbudgeted change - this role runs the discipline that keeps surprises small priced and decided on purpose. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Risk Management Own the project risk register end to end: structured identification workshops probability/impact quantification with cost and schedule ranges mitigation plans with named owners and dates and monthly risk reviews that actually retire risks rather than admire them. Escalate top exposures to program leadership with clear asks. Change Identification & Control Run the change process across GC/EPC and vendor contracts: early identification of potential changes from RFIs field conditions and design evolution; change notice logging; scope/pricing review; and entitlement assessment against contract terms before commercial posture is set. Negotiation & Resolution Support Support the PM and supply chain in change negotiations: independent pricing checks productivity and quantum review and settlement recommendations. Keep the change log current from identification through executed change order. Contract Compliance & Claims Avoidance Monitor notice requirements time-bar clauses and documentation obligations across contracts. Build the contemporaneous record - directives delay notices photos meeting minutes - that prevents disputes or wins them if they come. Cost & Forecast Integration Feed risk exposure ranges and pending-change forecasts into the Cost Controllers monthly report so the forecast reflects reality not just executed commitments. Process & Standards Build Hut 8s risk and change playbook: templates thresholds approval matrices and lessons learned applied across the program. |
