The Team and the opportunity

To continue the successful growth of our Infrastructure & Capital Projects team within EY’s Consulting practice, we are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Risk Manager to join our growing team and support some of the largest infrastructure projects currently in development within Ireland.

As a trusted advisor, you will help clients deliver critical infrastructure projects while advising them on risk management activities across governance, assurance, and control strategies. The risk manager will collaborate closely with executive leadership, delivery teams, and external stakeholders to ensure that risk is seamlessly incorporated into decision-making processes, and that suitable controls and mitigation strategies are implemented. They will ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices, while promoting a robust risk-aware culture throughout the organisation.
 

Your key responsibilities 

• Lead the development and implementation of enterprise and project-level risk management frameworks for major infrastructure and capital investment programmes.
• Provide strategic risk advisory services across the full project lifecycle - from early-stage planning, procurement, and contracting to construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Oversee risk assessments, including qualitative and quantitative analyses (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations, integrated cost and schedule risk modelling) to provide actionable insights for project leadership.
• Advise on project governance structures, programme controls, contract strategies (e.g., FIDIC, NEC, others), and procurement approaches to mitigate delivery risk.
• Provide assurance on cost management, schedule performance, commercial risk, dispute avoidance, and regulatory compliance.
• Engage with senior client stakeholders, project sponsors, and external stakeholders to communicate risk insights and support decision-making.
