Director, Project Controls

$160.66k - $267.77k

Centrus Energy

Director of Project Controls

As a key leader on the American Centrifuge Operations, LLC senior management team, the Director of Project Controls plays a pivotal role in driving the success of ACO's most critical initiatives. This is your opportunity to build and lead a high-impact Project Controls Organization within the Project Management Office—one that ensures our projects are delivered with excellence, precision, and forward-thinking strategy.

In this role, you will guide the development of best-in-class project management practices, champion a unified project management framework, and equip teams with the tools, training, and systems needed to execute confidently and consistently. You'll oversee core functions such as project scheduling, baseline management, performance reporting, and earned value analysis—enabling ACO leadership, the Executive Committee, and the Board of Directors to make informed, strategic decisions.

If you're energized by building strong project cultures, strengthening performance visibility, and empowering teams to deliver on complex, high-value work, this is a role where you can make a meaningful impact.

In this role, you'll elevate ACO's project performance by shaping and advancing our project management and controls framework. You'll champion standardized processes and tools, guide development of the Work Breakdown Structure, and lead the implementation of enterprise systems that support cost estimating, scheduling, risk management, and project reporting. You'll ensure teams are equipped and trained to use these systems effectively.

You'll oversee how project performance is measured—driving strong Earned Value Management practices, schedule analysis, and variance assessments—and maintain the Performance Measurement Baseline that guides project execution. As a strategic partner to ACO leadership, you'll help identify cost and schedule risks early, resolve issues proactively, and propose solutions that protect critical timelines. Through consistent oversight of baseline management, change control, and reporting procedures, you'll ensure that every project is managed with clarity, discipline, and accountability.

We'd love to hear from candidates with:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering; master's degree in business administration strongly preferred (or equivalent combination of education and experience). • Fifteen (15) years of large-scale project or operations management experience with increasing leadership responsibility.

Pay:

Estimated Starting Base Salary Range: $160,662 - $267,770. This position is Bonus eligible. Centrus considers several factors when extending job offers, including but not limited to candidates' key skills, relevant work experience, and education/training/certifications. While the posted range reflects the anticipated hiring range for this position, compensation above the range may be considered for candidates with exceptional qualifications and directly relevant experience.

Benefits:

  • Paid Vacation
  • Paid Parental leave
  • Twelve paid holidays each year
  • Company paid life insurance for up to one times your salary, with the option to purchase additional insurance for yourself and your dependents
  • Company subsidized health insurance including PPO, HDHP, as well as dental, vision and prescription drug coverage.
  • Tax savings accounts are available like Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Account, Limited Purposes FSA and Flexible Dependent Care.
  • Company paid long- and short-term disability insurance to protect your income if you are sick or injured
  • A 401(k) savings program with immediate eligibility to participate and with a company match of up to 7%
  • Tuition reimbursement for courses taken at an accredited college or university when certain criteria are met
  • An employer paid employee assistance program available to support both employees and members of their household
