Lead with Insight. Drive Delivery. Shape Major Programmes.

Are you ready to take the reins on some of London\’s most ambitious infrastructure projects? We\’re seeking a Project Controls Manager to provide strategic oversight, guide delivery teams, and transform performance data into actionable decisions that keep complex programmes on track.

This isn\’t just a management role – it\’s a chance to influence how major projects are delivered, mentor the next generation of project controls professionals, and ensure programmes run predictably and efficiently.

Your Role & Impact

As Project Controls Manager, you\’ll lead an integrated team and act as the bridge between delivery teams and senior leadership, providing clarity and confidence across cost, schedule, and risk functions. Your responsibilities include:

• Lead & Inspire: Manage and mentor a high-performing project controls team, building capability and fostering collaboration
• Drive Predictability: Identify risks early, implement mitigation strategies, and keep programmes on course
• Strategic Insight: Transform data and metrics into clear, actionable guidance for senior stakeholders
• Stakeholder Influence: Build trusted relationships with internal teams, contractors, and partners
• Governance & Reporting: Ensure consistent, transparent reporting aligned with NEC frameworks and organisational standards

What You Bring

• Proven leadership experience in project controls for major infrastructure or capital delivery programmes
• Strong expertise with Primavera P6, Earned Value Management, cost control systems, and performance reporting
• Working knowledge of NEC contracts and complex programme governance
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences
• Strategic, proactive, and able to operate under pressure while inspiring confidence in others
• Commercial awareness and a track record of delivering insight that drives informed decision-making

Why This Role Stands Out

• Impactful Work: Lead delivery on iconic, city-shaping infrastructure projects
• Career Progression: Clear path to senior leadership roles within high-profile programmes
• Flexible Working: Hybrid model built on trust, autonomy, and results
• Professional Growth: Access to continuous learning, mentoring, and industry-leading tools
• Competitive Package: £70k–£80k + benefits and long-term development opportunities
