• Establish and maintain project controls systems, processes and reporting frameworks.
• Manage project baselines, budgets, schedules and forecasts, ensuring performance is tracked against approved targets.
• Provide integrated analysis of cost, schedule, risk and progress to identify trends, issues and opportunities.
• Lead the monthly project controls cycle, including progress reporting, forecasting, cost-to-complete and schedule updates.
• Work closely with Commercial, Finance, Engineering, Construction and Project Leadership teams to ensure accurate and consistent project information.
• Identify emerging risks and performance issues and provide clear recommendations and corrective actions.
• Support change management and assess the cost and schedule impacts of project changes.
• Prepare high-quality reporting and dashboards for Project Leadership, senior management and key stakeholders.
• Lead, develop and mentor the project controls team and drive continuous improvement across project controls processes.

Your Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Project Management, or a related discipline.
• 10+ years’ project controls experience within major civil, rail, station, or heavy infrastructure projects, with recent contractor-side delivery experience highly regarded.
• Strong technical background developed through hands-on planning, scheduling, or cost engineering roles, retaining practical depth across controls disciplines.
• Demonstrated ability to directly interrogate Primavera P6 schedules, critical path logic, float, Earned Value Management (EVM), and cost-to-complete models.
