Senior Project Controls Specialist
We are seeking a Senior Project Controls Specialist to support the successful planning, monitoring, and delivery of complex projects. The role will provide expert project controls guidance across the full project lifecycle, ensuring that scope, schedule, cost, risk, and performance requirements are effectively managed. You will work closely with project managers, engineering teams, contractors, finance, procurement, and other stakeholders to establish reliable controls and provide clear, timely information for decision-making.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining integrated project schedules, cost plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance measurement systems. You will monitor progress against approved baselines, analyse variances, identify trends, and recommend corrective actions where required. The role will also involve preparing regular project controls reports, dashboards, earned value analyses, and management updates. You will support change control processes by assessing the impact of scope changes on cost, schedule, resources, and risk, while ensuring that approved changes are accurately reflected in project documentation and forecasts.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in project controls, planning, cost management, or a related discipline, ideally gained on large-scale, technically complex, or multi-disciplinary projects. Strong knowledge of scheduling and cost-control principles is essential, together with practical experience using project controls software and advanced spreadsheet tools. You should be confident interpreting project data, challenging assumptions, and presenting complex information clearly to both technical and senior stakeholders. Excellent organisational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively in a collaborative environment. A relevant degree, professional qualification, or equivalent practical experience is desirable.
