- Facilitate regular risk identification and review workshops involving design consultants, structural engineers, HSE specialists, rail interface coordinators, and contractors.
- Conduct risk analysis for cost and schedule impact using tools such as Primavera Risk Analysis.
- Evaluate risks related to constructability, rail corridor safety, temporary works, access control, lifting operations, and integration with rail System Safety Management Plan (SysSMP).
- Provide input to key project documentation, including the HSE Plan, CEMP, SysSMP, Construction Management Plan, and Interface Control Documents.
- Track the implementation of mitigation and contingency measures, escalating critical risks to project leadership and the Etihad Rail Risk Governance Board.
- Prepare monthly risk dashboards and reports, highlighting top risks, emerging issues, residual exposures, and mitigation effectiveness.
