Senior Construction Risk & Change Manager

Senior Construction Risk & Change Manager | Hyperscale Data Centre Build | Charleroi, Belgium

If you’re at your best when the project gets noisy - conflicting positions, constant scope pressure, tight governance - this is one of those roles where you actually matter.

We’re supporting a major hyperscale data centre build in Charleroi. It’s high-profile, fast-moving, and the Risk and Change function is central to keeping the programme under control.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning the end-to-end Early Warning, Risk and Change process across the project
• Leading EWN, risk and change meetings with stakeholders and SMEs - driving decisions, not just minutes
• Escalating submissions that breach agreed thresholds and triggers
• Managing change comms so the right people are aligned before things become “a problem”
• Keeping a clean, auditable database and change log with proper narrative and back-up
• Working with risk owners to ensure impacts and mitigations are genuinely costed and scheduled
• Producing clear reporting for monthly project packs (risk position, change status, contingency drawdown)
• Ensuring change approvals are supported with the right evidence for sign-off
• Tracking contingency versus drawdown and reporting transparently to the Owner

What we’re looking for

• Strong, hands-on ownership of risk and change on large, complex construction projects (mission critical / data centre experience is a strong plus)
• Comfortable with governance and detail, but pragmatic enough to keep momentum
• Confident stakeholder management - able to hold a line when it matters
• Fluent English (written and spoken)
• You must already have the legal right to work in Belgium (no sponsorship)
• Based in Belgium or willing to relocate
