Role Overview
The Project Controller will provide the insights and recommendations necessary to influence project execution and maximize value for both our customers and our business. You will act as the guardian of project financial health, ensuring the right rigor is applied to cost management, scheduling, and risk processes. By partnering with project managers and budget holders, you will help keep large-scale, complex infrastructure projects on track, within budget, and aligned with our financial objectives.
How You Will Make a Difference

- Validating the accuracy of cost estimates, including labor, materials, and supplier invoices, to drive financial clarity.
- Developing mitigation and recovery plans in collaboration with functional leaders to address budget deviations.
- Communicating clear financial status, risks, and forecasts to stakeholders to support proactive decision-making.
- Collaborating with finance and planning teams to reconcile financial data and ensure cost and schedule alignment.
- Improving project performance by identifying root causes of cost movements and supporting the analysis of claims.

- The capability to communicate financial data clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- An understanding of risk management processes and how to build effective mitigation plans.
- An expertise in financial reconciliation and cost-to-complete forecasting.
- A keen interest in the operational and financial success of grid infrastructure projects.
