Job description

Description

ABOUT US 
At Okland, we exist to create remarkable experiences — not just through the projects we deliver, but in the way we show up for our clients, partners, and each other every day. We believe that how we build is just as important as what we build, and our purpose is rooted in people. Whether it's a trusted partner we’ve worked with for decades or a new team member stepping onto their first jobsite, we approach every relationship with care, clarity, and commitment. 
 
We’re a commercial general contractor and construction management company with more than 1,200 team members and a track record of delivering some of the most complex and high-profile projects in the country — from semiconductor and healthcare facilities to professional sports venues and high-end hospitality. 
 
Founded in 1918 in Salt Lake City, we’ve grown steadily for over a century — now with offices in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho — and we’re entering one of the most exciting chapters in our company’s history. We’re building more than projects. We’re building careers, capabilities, and momentum for the future. And we’re looking for passionate, driven people who want to be part of it. 
 
ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY 
If you’re a strategic, detail-oriented risk professional who thrives on balancing financial insight with operational awareness, this role is for you. As Risk Director, you’ll lead the enterprise-wide risk management program — from insurance strategy and claims oversight to safety alignment and contract risk allocation. You’ll be a trusted advisor to Finance, Legal, and Operations, helping Okland proactively identify, mitigate, and manage risks across all areas of the business. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves building structure, shaping policy, and driving results that protect both people and performance. 
 
 
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY 
Financial Risk Management 
  • Lead procurement and administration of corporate and project-specific insurance programs (GL, Builder’s Risk, Professional Liability, Umbrella/Excess, Cyber, and OCIP/CCIP). 
  • Collaborate with Finance and Legal to ensure proper risk transfer, coverage adequacy, and contractual compliance. 
  • Oversee subcontractor and vendor Certificate of Insurance (COI) compliance and manage OCIP/CCIP enrollment. 
  • Serve as the company’s primary liaison with brokers, insurers, and third-party administrators. 
  • Evaluate and improve risk allocation across contracts to align with business objectives. 
 
Claims and Incident Management 
  • Track and manage all insurance claims (general liability, builders risk, property, auto, and workers’ compensation). 
  • Coordinate with adjusters, brokers, and insurers to ensure efficient resolution. 
  • Partner with field teams on incident documentation and claim preparation. 
  • Escalate high-value or disputed claims in partnership with Legal. 
 
Operational Risk Oversight 
  • Identify, quantify, and monitor operational risks across safety, project delivery, subcontractor performance, and financial exposure. 
  • Develop a “lessons learned” program to apply insights from claims and incidents to field operations. 
  • Partner with Safety and Operations to implement data-driven risk reduction initiatives. 
  • Lead enterprise-level emergency preparedness, business continuity, and crisis response efforts. 
 
Leadership and Strategy 
  • Establish KPIs and reporting dashboards to monitor risk trends and communicate insights to leadership. 
  • Promote a proactive, risk-aware culture through education, communication, and cross-functional collaboration. 
  • Partner with leaders to integrate risk strategy into business planning and decision-making. 
 
 
YOU’RE READY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU HAVE 
  • A bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Business, Construction Management, Finance, or a related field. 
  • 10+ years of progressive risk management experience within the construction or real estate development industry. 
  • Deep knowledge of insurance programs relevant to large-scale commercial construction. 
  • Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional initiatives. 
  • Familiarity with safety regulations, claims management, and risk control practices. 
  • Professional designations such as ARM, CPCU, or CRIS. 
  • Experience implementing or managing OCIP/CCIP programs. 
  • Knowledge of construction contracts (AIA, ConsensusDocs). 
  • Experience with risk analytics or insurance management systems. 
 
 
WHAT WE OFFER 
  • Award-winning culture – consistently recognized by Best Places to Work in Arizona, Utah, and Idaho. 
  • Competitive pay – weekly paychecks, salary, bonus incentives, 401(k) with employer match. 
  • Holistic benefits – Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability Insurance; paid parental leave, financial literacy resources, and an Employee Assistance Program with legal and mental health support. 
  • Perks – tenure awards including pro sports tickets, fitness memberships, travel vouchers, and paid work anniversary sabbaticals. 
  • Award-winning work – our projects are consistently honored with recognitions from AIA, ENR, AGC, and more.
