Project Controls Manager – Mission Critical Infrastructure

We are looking for an experienced commercial and controls specialist to build out robust cost governance for large-scale advanced manufacturing builds. In this role, you will take ownership of expenditure tracking, contract administration, and project forecasting from initial groundbreak to final commercial close-out.

Job Description

• Set up and maintain custom controls frameworks to govern budgets, documentation flows, and monthly financial reporting across the full project lifecycle.
• Supervise commercial engagements with the main contractor and trade packages, keeping day-to-day cost controls tight and transparent.
• Steer the project’s financial heartbeat, managing progress payment applications, cash outflow tracking, cost-to-complete forecasts, and final account settlements.
• Drive the variation loop: assess proposed scope changes, vet subcontractor pricing, verify entitlement, and flag high-impact commercial risks early.
• Work alongside planning specialists to cross-reference time implications against cost curves and project milestones.
• Vet and approve progress billings, audit contractor submissions against physical site progress, and coordinate necessary adjustments.
• Deliver straightforward financial summaries and budget reviews directly to client leads and executive stakeholders.
• Assist with initial project scoping, cost planning, and baseline setup for incoming work packages.
• Support a job-site culture focused on safety, quality, rapid turnaround, and clear accountability.

Requirements

• At least a decade of hands-on cost engineering, quantity surveying, or project controls experience within data centres, semiconductor facilities, or parallel high-spec industrial builds.

• Degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Project Management, or a related field.

• Strong background in contract administration with the commercial acumen to scrutinize contractor claims and variation validity.

• Solid grounding in cost estimation, budget formation, earned-value principles, and variance reporting.

• High proficiency with standard office productivity suites (Excel/Sheets); practical exposure to scheduling tools like Primavera P6 is a clear benefit.

• Comfort adapting to customized client delivery frameworks and learning proprietary reporting software.

• Excellent presentation and communication skills, capable of explaining complex financial positions clearly to senior management.

• A proactive, independent work style that stays structured and calm under tight, fast-paced deadlines.
