Project Control Manager

We are seeking an experienced Project Control Manager to lead the planning, monitoring and reporting activities across a portfolio of complex projects. The successful candidate will establish effective project control frameworks, ensuring that scope, schedule, cost, risk and performance information is accurate, timely and aligned with business objectives. Working closely with project managers, commercial teams, finance and delivery stakeholders, you will provide clear insight into project status and support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.


Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining integrated project schedules, cost plans, budgets, forecasts and progress measurement systems. You will coordinate reporting cycles, analyse performance against approved baselines and identify trends, variances and potential areas of concern. The role will also involve supporting change control, earned value management, risk and opportunity management, resource planning and the preparation of regular dashboards and management reports. You will ensure that project controls processes are consistently applied, data quality is maintained and corrective actions are tracked through to completion. Where required, you will coach project teams and contribute to the continuous improvement of tools, procedures and governance standards.


Applicants should have substantial experience in project controls, planning, project management or a related discipline, ideally gained within a complex engineering, construction, infrastructure, technology or major programmes environment. Strong knowledge of scheduling and cost control principles, reporting methodologies, risk management and change management is essential. Experience with recognised planning and project controls software, along with advanced spreadsheet and data analysis skills, will be highly valued. You will be an organised and analytical professional with excellent communication skills, able to challenge constructively, explain complex information clearly and influence stakeholders at all levels. A relevant professional qualification or degree is desirable, as is experience managing project controls teams or coordinating controls activities across multiple workstreams.
