Job Summary:

Repsol Renewables North America is seeking a Project Risk Control Manager to build, lead, and institutionalize the Project Risk Management Framework across the Development and Engineering & Construction (E&C) portfolio.

This role is designed for a seasoned, quantitatively strong, and deeply technical project risk professional with mastery in probabilistic cost and schedule risk analysis, robust understanding of EPC execution, and the ability to design scalable governance across a multi0project renewable portfolio.

You will serve as the functional owner for project risk processes, standards, tools, and reporting. You will partner with Engineering, Construction, Project Controls, Procurement, Legal, and EPC contractors to ensure early risk identification, strong mitigation actions, and predictable project outcomes from development through commissioning.

The position is based in Downtown Houston with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Risk Framework Leadership:

• Design, implement, and govern the Project Risk Management Framework across the portfolio.

• Develop standardized risk processes, templates, thresholds, and governance protocols.

• Train PMs, engineers, and project controls staff on qualitative and quantitative risk methodologies.

• Lead risk maturity improvements and establish cross0project insights, benchmarks, and reporting cadence.

• undefined

Project Risk Identification & Assessment:

• Facilitate comprehensive risk identification sessions across Development, Engineering, Construction, Permitting, Grid, Land, and HSE.

• Maintain high0quality risk registers with probability0impact scoring, root0cause mapping, and mitigation tracking.

• Establish leading indicators to detect emerging risks and deviations early.

Project Risk Identification & Assessment:

• Partner with PMs and technical leads to define and verify the effectiveness of mitigation actions.

• Embed risk controls into engineering deliverables, construction execution plans, scopes of work, and procurement strategies.

• Challenge superficial mitigations and escalate overdue or ineffective controls to leadership.

Construction & Site Risk Oversight:

• Conduct targeted, risk0based site visits to validate field conditions, logistics, heavy0haul routes, civil work progress, electrical installation risks, QA/QC exposure, and commissioning readiness.

• Partner with HSE on safety0critical risks affecting construction execution.

• Track deviations, near misses, early warnings, and emerging site0based risks.

• undefined

Schedule & Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis:

• Lead full Monte Carlo0based cost and schedule risk analyses using Primavera Risk Analysis (PRA), [redacted], Safran, or equivalent tools.

• Build and validate risk models including distributions, correlation, and dependency structures.

• Generate contingency recommendations for budgets, schedules, reserves, and approval gates.

• Stress0test critical paths, procurement lead times, engineering maturity, construction sequencing, interconnection timelines, and commissioning readiness.

Qualifications:

• 1015+ years of experience in project risk management, project controls, engineering, or construction for large capital projects.

• Demonstrated mastery in probabilistic schedule and cost risk analysis using Primavera Risk Analysis, [redacted], Safran, or similar tools.

• Deep understanding of EPC and multi0contract execution risks (engineering maturity, civil/electrical, long0lead procurement, logistics, commissioning).

• Strong proficiency in Primavera P6, advanced Excel modeling, and enterprise risk platforms (ARM, Primavera Risk, etc.).

• Proven ability to lead high0impact risk workshops and challenge assumptions with senior PMs, engineering leads, and EPC contractors.

• Experience building frameworks, governance structures, and portfolio0level risk reporting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor0in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Controls, or Risk Management.

• Master0degree or certifications such as PMP or PMI0RMP.

• Experience in utility0scale solar, storage, or major infrastructure projects.

• Strong analytical communicator with ability to translate probability0based results into executive decisions.
