Risk and Schedule Analyst

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Review schedule logic, open ends, constraints, negative float and durations; compare updates with baselines and prior periods to identify critical-path changes, float erosion and forecast delays.
• Support delay analysis and recovery planning for projects requiring additional assurance.
• Review risk registers for completeness, ownership, quantification and mitigation status; conduct schedule and cost risk analysis and assess forecast-date confidence.
• Monitor early warning indicators and escalate emerging risks to Delivery Assurance Managers.
• Maintain accurate schedule and risk data in the Group’s governed reporting model.
• Work with project planners to improve data quality and develop repeatable analysis, templates and automated checks.

Qualifications and Experience

• 4–7 years of experience in planning, scheduling or project controls within construction or infrastructure projects.
• Strong proficiency in Primavera P6 or equivalent tools, including XER files, schedule logic, calendars, constraints and float analysis.
• Familiarity with DCMA 14-point schedule assessment and qualitative and quantitative schedule risk analysis.
• Strong Excel and Power BI skills; SQL or Python for automation is preferred.
• Ability to develop or improve analytical tools, scripts or templates to improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and clear communication of technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.

Essential AI Fluency

• Practical, hands-on AI or scripting use to automate schedule checks, validate project data, identify anomalies or detect potential delays is essential.
• Candidates must provide a real example of improved efficiency or analysis; general AI awareness or use limited to drafting and presentations does not meet the requirement.
