Project Controls Manager

Project Controls Professionals

Project Controls professionals are needed for permanent roles in Bristol, supporting complex engineering and delivery programmes where strong controls discipline is central to successful delivery.

This is a multi-level campaign, so applications are welcome from Project Controllers, Project Controls Managers, Senior Project Controls Managers, Programme Controls professionals and PMO professionals with strong project controls exposure.

The salary offered will depend on level, experience and fit.

The key point is breadth. This is not a general Project Manager role and it is not aimed at single-discipline specialists only. The focus is broader project controls including cost, schedule, risk, change, reporting, governance and performance management.
Specialists in areas such as planning, cost, risk or PMO may be suitable at developing or junior levels where there is clear project controls exposure and the appetite to broaden.

The role

You will support the delivery of complex projects and programmes by helping to establish, manage and improve project controls processes across challenging delivery environments.

Depending on your level, this may include:

• Managing project controls activity across cost, schedule, risk, change and reporting
• Supporting or leading Performance Measurement Baselines and Earned Value Management
• Producing project controls reports, KPI packs and project performance information
• Working with planners, cost engineers, risk managers, delivery teams and stakeholders
• Supporting change control processes, risk integration and governance reporting
• Interpreting project performance data to support decision-making
• Helping to improve controls processes across complex project and programme environments
• Providing clear insight into project progress, performance, risk and delivery confidence

What you will need

• Experience in project controls, project control, programme controls, PMO or project performance roles
• Clear exposure to broader project controls beyond one isolated activity
• A strong understanding of cost, schedule, risk, change, reporting and governance
• Experience producing or contributing to project performance information
• Confidence working with project data, schedules, cost information, risks, changes, KPIs or delivery reports
• Experience using project controls tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, cost tools, reporting systems or project performance dashboards
• Good stakeholder management skills and confidence working with technical, delivery and project teams
• A disciplined approach to project controls, data quality, reporting and governance

Who this is likely to suit

This could suit someone currently working as a:

• Project Controller
• Project Controls Manager
• Senior Project Controls Manager
• Programme Controls Manager
• PMO professional with strong controls exposure
• Cost, planning or risk specialist looking to broaden into wider project controls

It will be a stronger fit for people who can show real involvement in project controls rather than general project management alone. For more senior roles, broader project controls experience across multiple areas will be important.

Why apply?

• This is a chance to join a major engineering consultancy working across complex projects and programmes.
• You will be joining an environment where project controls is central to delivery. The work is focused on giving delivery teams clear information, better governance and stronger control over project performance.
• There are opportunities available at different levels, so the conversation can be shaped around your experience.
