Job description

Job Description

The Senior Project Controller operates effectively in complex delivery environments -including JVs / partnerships, alliances, P3 / DB / PDB - and supports multi-party governance by aligning controls definitions, cut-off calendars, and reporting across partner teams. This role is expected to be a “controls integrator” : ensuring cost, schedule, and information flows stay coherent, auditable, and useful.

Key responsibilities :

Integrated project controls delivery (cost, schedule, progress)

  • Establish and maintain integrated controls routines for assigned projects : baseline management, progress cut-offs, update cycles, forecasting cadence, and performance review rhythms.
  • Develop and maintain integrated project schedules (e.g., Primavera P6 ) with strong logic integrity, critical path clarity, realistic resourcing assumptions, and effective lookahead planning.
  • Manage cost control processes : commitments, actuals, accruals, cost coding alignment, variance analysis, and periodic forecasting ( EAC / ETC ) with clear assumptions and traceability.
  • Implement progress measurement rules aligned to contract requirements and project realities; ensure schedule updates and cost forecasts reflect physical progress and approved changes.

Change control and commercial alignment

  • Execute and maintain the change control process : change capture, log governance, schedule / cost impact assessment, approvals tracking, baseline adjustments (when authorized), and integration into forecasts.
  • Coordinate with commercial / contract administration to support substantiation, notices, and claims readiness by maintaining defensible records, narratives, and audit trails tied to controls outputs.
  • Reporting, performance insights, and stakeholder management

  • Produce monthly / periodic reporting packs (internal leadership, client, and JV / partner requirements as applicable) covering schedule status, cost performance, progress, KPIs, change status, trends, and risk considerations.
  • Provide actionable performance insights : root-cause analysis, emerging risks / opportunities, recovery recommendations, and forward-looking risk-to-forecast commentary.
  • Present status in live and virtual forums; support governance meetings including project performance reviews and JV / partner reporting coordination sessions.
  • JV / partnership controls integration

  • Support integrated reporting in JV / partner settings by aligning and reconciling : WBS / CBS structures, cost codes, progress rules, reporting definitions, and cut-off calendars .
  • Consolidate partner inputs into a coherent “single source of truth” view; validate data quality, identify disconnects, and escalate issues through established governance paths.
  • Participate in interface management across partner organizations, subcontractors, and client stakeholders to ensure consistent controls practices and timely data flow.
  • Information management and document control interface

  • Oversee project information management practices required to support controls, including registers for key deliverables, correspondence, transmittals, approvals, and closeout documentation.
  • Coordinate with Project Administrators / document control resources to ensure document workflows support auditability and contract administration (e.g., change backup, approvals, contemporaneous records).
  • Ensure controls artifacts are appropriately stored, traceable, and retrievable in accordance with project requirements and the common data environment (CDE) framework.
  • Risk integration and continuous improvement

  • Support risk integration into controls outputs by ensuring risk items are reflected in schedule / cost forecasts where required and that risk / change / trend narratives are coherent.
  • Apply the Project Controls Playbook and templates; identify gaps and recommend improvements to standards, tools, and reporting practices.
  • Contribute to lessons learned and knowledge transfer across projects; mentor junior project controls staff and support capability development.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, business, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
  • Typically 10–15+ years of progressive experience delivering project controls on complex projects, including integrated cost + schedule + reporting responsibilities.
  • Demonstrated experience working within JV / partnership / Alliance / P3 / DB / PDB environments with multi-party reporting and governance interfaces.
  • Good understand of schedule approach methodologies such as resource loading and integration with EVM
  • Cost management and forecasting practices; familarity with ERP / cost systems (ex : Deltek, Oracle) is an asset
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (advanced Excel expected) and dashboard / reporting practices
  • Strong understanding of information management / document control processes in major project environments and how they support auditability and contract administration.
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort presenting performance narratives to senior internal stakeholders, partners, and clients.
  • Additional Information
