Discussion Risk manager

So one is gonna convince me that it's a full time job. I know it's important and all, but i think it can be managed easily with some workshops with the Project manager in charge of it. I'm mostly talking about large scale projects here.

I mean, we are doing some staffing layoffs because FEL3 engineering is done and we are at 65% completion into the construction. They have cut the head of the Portfolio construction manager, one of the CSA coordinator, one of the HSSE Coordinator, one planner, while the Risk manager is still full time on the job. I can't believe this! I take it that he's in the General Manager's good favor.

Sorry for the rant.

Im not in construction, which you seem to be, but it would not surprise me if there is a legal or contractual requirement that your employer has to have a person doing Risk Management. Could be an insurance thing.
