Job Purpose

To identify, assess, and mitigate risks affecting the Road Operation & Maintenance (O&M) project’s performance, budget, and reputation, ensuring compliance with Ashghal, Qatar Energy, and international risk management standards (ISO 31000). The role addresses challenges related to desert environments, oilfield proximity, and contractual penalties under performance-based contracts.

Key Responsibilities

    • Desert-specific hazards such as sandstorms, extreme heat, and remote work locations.
    • Road O&M risks including pavement failures, drainage blockages, and traffic diversions.
    • Contractual risks such as penalties for missed KPIs and stakeholder disputes.

    Apply quantitative risk analysis tools (e.g., FMEA, Monte Carlo simulations) to prioritize risks based on likelihood and impact.

  • Mitigation Strategies – Develop and implement action plans for high-impact risks, including emergency response measures for oil spills near Dukhan Field. Coordinate risk mitigation efforts with:
    • HSE Manager for safety-related risks.
    • Traffic Operations Manager for incident-related traffic disruptions.
    • Planning Engineer for schedule delay prevention.
  • Contract & Compliance Risks – Monitor compliance with performance-based contract clauses, particularly Ashghal’s service level requirements and associated penalties. Verify that insurance policies adequately cover project risks, including third-party liability and equipment damage.
  • Reporting & Stakeholder Communication – Prepare and submit monthly risk dashboards to QBC/Ashghal, including:
    • Top 10 risks with likelihood/impact matrices.
    • Mitigation progress updates using RAG status (Red/Amber/Green).
