As the Lead Risk Manager for the OPX Americas Business Unit, you will provide independent portfolio-level risk oversight across Engineering and Services projects and portfolios to ensure that commercial, execution, financial, technical, and strategic risks are proactively identified, assessed, governed, and communicated throughout the project lifecycle (from bid and contract award through delivery, commissioning, and closeout). You will act as a subject matter expert enabling informed decision-making, predictability, and value protection by aligning risk-taking with approved risk appetite, governance frameworks, and business objectives across the portfolio.

You will report to the Portfolio Risk Manager and will be based out of our Cranberry Township, PA facility.

• Lead risk assessments for engineering and services offers in line with global Offer Risk Review and Approval processes.
• Ensure commercial, contractual, technical (scope, interfaces, design maturity), financial, and execution risks (access, site conditions, outage/turnaround constraints, resourcing) are identified, documented, and mitigated prior to approval.
• Support stakeholder alignment and endorsement through structured risk reviews with Engineering, Project Management, Services/Field Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Trade & Compliance and Finance.
• Provide independent assessment of risk exposure, contingencies, and risk transfer prior to contract approval, including lifecycle obligations (warranty, spares, and service levels), and drive clarity on accountability and mitigation commitments.
• Implement governance processes and support contract handover, engineering kickoff, healthy start, and monthly project/services reviews.
• Oversee the quality and consistency of project risk registers during execution using approved tools and risk breakdown structures aligned to engineering work packages and site/field activities.
• Monitor mitigation ownership and effectiveness, escalating where governance standards (including EHS, quality, and subcontractor controls) are not met.
• Track portfolio risk exposure, mitigation progress, residual risk, and impacts to cost/schedule, claims, and service performance.
• Support integrated portfolio-level risk reviews and drive lessons learned back into engineering and services playbooks.
• Assess portfolio risk maturity, identify gaps, and partner with Portfolio Directors to define improvement plans.
• Promote consistent application of corporate risk policies, tools, and best practices.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Finance, Project Management, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in project or portfolio risk management, preferably in engineering, energy, nuclear, or similarly complex project environments.
• Strong facilitation skills for crossfunctional technical and commercial discussions.
• Knowledge of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methodologies and enterprise risk tools (e.g., ARM).
• Understanding of Offer development processes, offer governance requirements, and commercial risk evaluation.

We are committed to transparency and equity in all of our people practices. The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications and skills, is estimated to be $116,800.00 to $146,000.00 per year.
