1 month ago

Tadley, Hampshire, United Kingdom AWE Full time

We are looking for someone with a high level of experience of Project Controls including cost, budget, planning and estimating to join our Project Controls team at AWE Nuclear Security Technologies.

We are open to applicants looking for job share, part time and term time working and we do need you to come from a Project Controls background.

Location: We are in the countryside between Reading and Basingstoke at RG7 4PR. You will be required to attend site up to 3 days per week.

Salary Range starts at: 48,030 up to 61,000 - this is very much open to upwards negotiation if you have the skills and experience that we need.

What's exciting is:

You will be joining the business as it embarks on one of the most complex infrastructure programmes in the country at a pivotal moment in its evolution. The UK government has committed substantial investment into improving our infrastructure, so we are building a talented team to make the most of this opportunity.

As a Project Controls Manager (within - Governance, Planning, Risk, Reporting, and Controls) you will head multi-functional Project Controls teams. It's vital that we ensure delivery of our project programmes, to do this, you'll collaborate with Project Managers and Supply Chain to produce a pragmatic baseline.

You will need to engage, negotiate, and influence people across the business to ensure effective controls are in place to monitor progress, manage issues and mitigate slippage.

A typical day for a Project Controls Manager could look like this:

  • Managing risk, including ownership of qualitative and quantitative assessments to schedule predictability and cost.
  • Influencing and supporting project managers and procurement to ensure schedule momentum and cash flow KPI's.
  • Role modelling best practice in conceptual estimating, funding stage gates, basic contingency principles and procurement principles.
  • Coordinating and facilitating planning sessions and workshops to compile the master project/programme schedule baseline, ensuring an achievable duration.
  • Utilising your expertise in procurement schedules to create achievable lead times within the schedule.
  • Prioritising materials and equipment orders to meet scheduled install dates.
  • Influencing key stakeholders to facilitate sign-off of baseline and encouraging visibility of regular progress updates.
  • Introducing robust change processes, ensuring schedules, interfaces, cost, risk, and changes are managed appropriately.
  • Owning the change management process and workflow.
  • Highlighting trends and root causes of deviations against the baseline using lead and lag indicators and reporting effective remedial actions in order to drive best value for the client.

We would like you to demonstrate or have experience of:

  • Delivering Controls in a major project/ programme environment, ideally within Defence, Life Sciences, Pharma, R&D facilities, Industrial, Manufacturing, Distribution & Logistics sectors
  • Mentoring and developing a multi-functional controls team
  • Meeting project deadlines
  • Adept with controls/ general software applications such as Primavera (P6), Power BI
  • Insight into engineering, procurement, contracts, construction processes
  • Knowledge of engineering and construction management
  • Heading collaborative focus groups

We do need you to come from a Project Controls environment, this role is not suitable for Project Managers.

This job role is suitable for some hybrid working, which is an informal, non-contractual and voluntary arrangement, blending a balance of attendance in the workplace (your permanent duty station) and working from home as a personal choice. There is a need to be on site regularly.

If successful, you will be required to carry out all of your duties from the UK and cannot do so from an overseas location at any time.

Why work for us?

  • 25 days annual leave and every other Friday off (AWE works a 9-day fortnight)
  • A really great pension
