Senior Risk Management Specialist

RWE Renewables UK Management Ltd.
To start as soon as possible, full time, permanent

In this role, you’ll implement and continuously improve end-to-end risk management processes across RWE Offshore Operations. You’ll apply your expertise to operational, technical, commercial, regulatory and other risks that could significantly affect short- and long-term business plans, while coaching other team members and providing guidance across the business.

This is a great opportunity to transfer risk management experience from offshore wind, power generation, oil and gas, chemicals, aviation or a comparable asset-intensive industry into the offshore wind sector. HSE-specific risks and processes, including Case to Operate, remain under the responsibility of the HSE department and are outside the scope of this role.

About the role

- Partner with Operations teams to identify, consistently quantify and proactively treat risks through regular reviews and ad hoc support for emerging risks.

- Coordinate input from subject matter experts across relevant technical, commercial and corporate functions.

- Develop and implement best practices for risk identification, quantification, treatment, stress testing and lessons learned.

- Maintain accurate, clear and consistent data in the risk management tool to enable effective comparison and analysis.

- Analyse risk data to identify trends, portfolio-wide risks and priorities for allocating resources.

- Prepare clear risk reports and coordinate approval with site General Managers and Operational Directors for financial forecasting, planning and other business reporting.

- Monitor critical risks and treatment measures against agreed milestones while holding risk owners accountable for delivery.

- Provide peer reviews, coaching and professional support to Risk Management Specialists and guidance to the wider business.

Job requirements and experience
