Contract Probabilistic Risk Analysis Engineer Jobs in Idaho

The Field Change & Risk Lead plays a critical role in supporting change management, risk analysis, and commercial project controls across large-scale capital projects and mega-project programs. This position is responsible for evaluating project risks, analyzing change impacts, validating contractor change proposals, and supporting data-driven decision-making related to cost, schedule, forecasting, and contingency management.

Working closely with project controls, cost, scheduling, engineering, and project management teams, the Field Change & Risk Lead supports the development and maintenance of risk registers, change management processes, quantitative and qualitative risk assessments, and project forecasting models. This role is heavily focused on identifying potential project threats and opportunities, mitigating commercial exposure, and ensuring alignment between approved project baselines, contractor performance, and project controls standards.

The ideal candidate possesses strong experience supporting industrial, semiconductor, energy, or EPC mega-project environments, with expertise in risk management, change control, cost engineering, forecasting, schedule impact analysis, and integrated project controls delivery.

Note: This opportunity is available at multiple levels. Final placement will be determined based on the selected candidate’s experience, skills, and alignment with business needs. We are committed to providing fair and equitable consideration for all applicants.
