Risk Management Consultant

Would you like to contribute to ensuring that the energy transition proceeds safely and equitably?

Are you ready to help build new service areas for a global leader in risk management?

DNV’s Risk Advisory Team North America is looking for a Senior or Principal Risk Management Consultant to help us in our own transition.

This requires experience with ESG frameworks and standards. This work will be done within the team and may involve other parts of DNV that focus on decarbonization strategies, energy efficiency, and business assurance.
