What you’ll do

The role requires excellent personal and interpersonal skills, and you will be at the core of our project delivery team, working across the full lifecycle of greenfield and brownfield projects. A role which supports all aspects of risk management ensuring qualitative risk insights guide decision-making. This role requires a background in capital projects, facilitation skills, and the ability to lead and influence multidisciplinary teams.

  • Update risk registers, support risk and action owners, and ensure mitigation activities are tracked and monitored.
  • Maintain, monitor, and analyze project risk registers to ensure alignment with project objectives and proactive risk management.

  • Provide support to project teams on risk methodologies, and collaborate closely with project functions such as Planning, Cost, HSE, and Engineering to embed risk management into project delivery.
  • Assist in configuring project risk structures (registers, matrices, breakdowns), and facilitate risk profile development workshops.
  • Participate in specialized risk reviews e.g., procurement, contract, change management.
  • Support project close-out by documenting risk-related lessons learned and contributing to the continuous improvement of risk processes.
  • Liaise with the Risk and Opportunities Lead regarding best practices and standard application across projects.

What you’ll bring

You’re curious and believe that real progress happens when we work together. You’re not afraid to challenge old ways of thinking - and you treat others with respect while doing it. At Stegra, we value people who take initiative, build trust, and help create a workplace where everyone can do their best.
