ALS-U is a DOE capital project that will upgrade the Laboratory’s Advanced Light Source, a 1.9 GeV storage ring operating at 500 mA, with a multibend achromat lattice design, producing a soft x-ray source 100 to 1,000 times brighter than what is available today. In this role you will lead, administer, and continuously improve the ALS-U integrated risk-management program, covering technical, cost, schedule, procurement, installation, operational, organizational, and external risks and opportunities. You will provide independent, objective, decision-ready risk information to Project leadership, working closely with the Project Director, Project Manager, Chief Engineer, Technical Project Managers, Project Controls Manager, Control Account Managers, functional leads, risk owners, Laboratory management, the Department of Energy, and external review committees.
