Project Controls Manager

Job Description

Project Controls Manager

London (Hybrid) | £70K–£80K + Car Allowance

✨ Private Medical | Wellbeing Perks | Clear Path to Senior Leadership

Take Control Where It Counts

You’re not here to rubber-stamp reports. You’re here to challenge, lead, and deliver results across some of the UK’s most complex infrastructure programmes.

This is more than project controls - this is your opportunity to influence how high-value projects are planned, tracked, and brought to life.

Where You’ll Make an Impact:

From transport and energy to utilities and defence, you'll be deeply embedded in projects that shape modern Britain.

You won’t be on the side lines - you’ll be central to programme success, working alongside senior stakeholders and delivery teams.

Why This Role Stands Out

Strategic Influence – A seat at the decision-making table from day one

Smart Hybrid Working – Designed around trust, output, and your lifestyle

Leadership Trajectory – Real growth, no glass ceilings

‍♀️ People-First Benefits – Healthcare, lifestyle perks, and holistic wellbeing support

What You’ll Be Driving

• Set the Pace – Lead on schedule, cost, risk, and performance controls
• Translate Data into Action – Turn insights into project-defining decisions
• Coach and Elevate – Guide project teams to exceed expectations
• Pre-empt and Prevent – Spot issues early and drive proactive solutions
• Align and Influence – Keep stakeholders informed, engaged, and moving forward

What You Bring to the Table

✔ Proven experience in project controls for complex infrastructure programmes

✔ Deep knowledge of Primavera P6, reporting tools, and data analysis

✔ Strong track record of leading teams and developing others

✔ Understanding of NEC contracts, earned value, and programme governance

✔ A sharp eye for detail, a strategic mindset, and the ability to influence at every level
