We're looking for a Head of Risk to join Movar, a growing consultancy helping infrastructure clients deliver major programmes better, faster, and more efficiently. This is a rare opportunity to lead the risk function on large-scale infrastructure initiatives while helping shape the evolution of a high-performing consultancy.

Movar is in an exciting phase of growth. Founded in 2013, the company has built a strong reputation across utilities and infrastructure, but what really sets them apart is their culture. It's a people-first environment, entrepreneurial in feel, and supportive of autonomy, progression, and development. Movar empowers its people to drive positive change on client projects and within the business itself.

This role sits at the heart of infrastructure delivery, leading and embedding a robust risk management strategy across complex, high-value programmes. You'll bring expertise in proactive risk leadership, from workshops and assessments to quantified analysis and system development, supporting teams across the programme lifecycle. You'll also oversee a team of Risk Leads, guiding their development while ensuring consistent, high-quality implementation of risk processes.

Key Requirements: You should be a seasoned risk professional with a CV that demonstrates:

15+ years' experience managing risk across infrastructure projects of scale and complexity
Strong leadership background, with the ability to guide teams and influence stakeholders at all levels
In-depth knowledge of risk management tools, frameworks and reporting platforms (e.g. QRA, Monte Carlo analysis, risk profiling)
Experience developing and implementing strategy across large programmes, including risk KPIs and mitigation monitoring
Excellent communication, reporting and client engagement skills
Deep understanding of project governance, construction procurement and risk-related EU/Irish legislation
A third-level qualification in a relevant field (e.g. Engineering, Construction, Risk Management)

Movar isn't your typical consultancy, it's a business that puts people first and encourages you to bring your best ideas forward. If you're ready to lead from the front, drive meaningful improvement, and build a career with purpose, this is the role for you.

Expect a competitive salary with a package that includes company pension, life insurance, and a supportive culture focused on autonomy, collaboration, and career development.
