·Solid understanding of project management principles, including interfaces with cost, schedule, and change management functions.
·Experience with qualitative and quantitative risk tools, including @RISK, Primavera Risk Analysis, or similar.
·Skilled in facilitating risk workshops and communicating technical concepts to non-specialist stakeholders.
·Demonstrable experience in setting up risk frameworks from the ground up, particularly during early project development phases (pre-FEED, FEED, or pre-construction).
·Ability to interpret technical project data and translate it into meaningful risk insights for senior decision-makers.
·Excellent interpersonal, analytical, and organizational skills.
