Role description
We work to protect our natural environment and energy resources, while powering our world for future generations. Around the world, we’re feeling the effects of climate change, rapid urbanisation, loss of biodiversity. The rate at which we’re seeing large‑scale, unforeseen events such as floods and wildfires is becoming more frequent.
The Nuclear programmes that we work on require strong risk and project controls capability to support delivery in complex and highly regulated environments. Risk Engineers enable confident decision‑making by facilitating risk processes, maintaining high‑quality risk and assumption registers, and providing practical analysis and insight that informs contingency, mitigation, and delivery priorities.
Arcadis seeks flexible, dynamic individuals with UK nationality required. Candidates must hold up to, or be eligible to obtain and maintain, Security Clearance (SC).
This role may be aligned to a specific delivery area or workstream and will operate across multi‑disciplinary interfaces.
This role requires a flexible approach to travel, typically 2–3 days per week, depending on business needs.
Role purpose
To produce and maintain high‑quality risk and assumption registers, deliver risk analysis outputs that inform contingency and mitigation, and provide clear risk narratives that support governance decisions and delivery confidence across complex, regulated programmes.
Role accountabilities
- Provide risk expertise and advice on risk and contingency management in line with agreed procedures and governance.
- Facilitate risk and assumption workshops to ensure quality risks and assumptions are identified, clearly documented, and reviewed regularly.
- Develop, maintain, and assure project, programme, or workstream risk and assumption registers, ensuring they remain current, traceable, and decision‑ready.
- Conduct risk identification and analysis and support development of practical mitigation actions with risk owners, actively monitoring progress and effectiveness.
- Provide quantitative risk analysis services where required, translating outputs into practical contingency and delivery confidence insight.
- Where appropriate, run risk analysis software in conjunction with integrated schedules to support quantitative analysis and scenario testing.
- Provide Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis (SQRA) to projects and programmes, using risk analysis software alongside integrated schedules (for example PRA with Primavera P6), and translate outputs into schedule contingency and delivery confidence insight.
- Embed risk management into delivery arrangements by aligning risk outputs with planning, cost, change, and reporting cycles.
- Produce clear risk narratives that explain key drivers, impacts, trends, and recommended actions for stakeholders at different levels.
- Support assurance activities by providing evidence of risk process application, register quality, and reporting traceability.
- Support knowledge transfer and capability development, including coaching colleagues and contributing to improvements in tools, templates, and ways of working.
- The scope of accountability will be set to match experience, from hands‑on risk delivery through to leading risk governance, assurance, and continuous improvement across assignments.
Qualifications & Experience
Arcadis is seeking Risk Engineering professionals with experience appropriate to the complexity of the role and the scale of the programmes involved, with the following required and desirable criteria.
Required
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
- You should hold or be working towards a relevant professional qualification or chartered status.
- Strong experience delivering risk management in complex projects or programmes within regulated or safety‑critical environments.
- Demonstrable facilitation skills, including running risk and assumption workshops and engaging stakeholders effectively.
- Proven ability to develop and maintain risk registers and produce clear, evidence‑based risk narratives and reporting outputs.
- Working knowledge of risk tools and data handling, including maintaining risk and assumption registers and producing risk reporting outputs using Microsoft Excel and similar tools.
Desirable
- Experience providing quantitative risk analysis for schedule and/or cost, and translating outputs into contingency and mitigation decisions.
- Familiarity with quantitative risk analysis tools used for schedule and cost risk modelling, e.g. Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (PRA) and Monte Carlo tools such as @Risk, and experience working alongside integrated schedules in Primavera P6 or similar.
- Experience delivering SQRA or other quantitative schedule risk analysis, including use of risk analysis software in conjunction with Primavera P6 or equivalent scheduling tools.
- Experience using risk register and risk management systems (e.g. Active Risk Manager or equivalent), including configuration of fields, governance reporting, and data quality checks.
- Experience supporting governance, audit, or assurance processes in a controlled delivery environment.
- Experience coaching or mentoring colleagues and contributing to improvements in standards, templates, and ways of working.
- Tools and systems vary by assignment, so candidates should be comfortable adapting to different risk and reporting platforms.
