Project Controls professionals are needed for permanent roles in Bristol, supporting major infrastructure programmes where NEC contract experience is important. This is a multi-level campaign, so applications are welcome from Project Controllers, Project Controls Managers, PMO etc. who can show real project controls experience. The salary offered will depend on level, experience and fit. The key point is discipline. This is not a general Project Manager role. The focus is project controls including cost, schedule, risk, change, reporting and performance management.
The role involves supporting the delivery of major infrastructure programmes by helping to establish, manage and improve project controls processes across complex project 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 major programme environments
What you will need:
- Experience in project controls, project control or programme controls roles
- NEC contract experience or clear experience working in NEC contract environments
- Experience on infrastructure, construction or major programme environments
- Exposure to sectors such as defence, nuclear, energy, rail, highways, roads, water, utilities or wider infrastructure
- A strong understanding of cost, schedule, risk, change, reporting and governance
- Experience using project controls tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, cost tools or reporting systems
- Good stakeholder management skills and confidence working with technical and delivery teams
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, Cost Controller, Planning Engineer or PMO professional with strong controls exposure. It will not be the right fit for someone whose experience is mainly general project management without clear project controls ownership.
Why apply?
This is a chance to join a major engineering consultancy working across large-scale infrastructure programmes. You will be joining a project controls environment where the discipline is central to delivery, not treated as an admin function.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be currently based in the UK and have the ongoing right to work in the UK. Due to the permanent nature of these roles and the basic clearance checks required, graduate visas with fixed end dates are not accepted for this campaign.
