As a Project Controller you will ensure the implementation of Project Controls best practices across all bids and projects within the domain.

Your role will involve ensuring the development of robust Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) and Performance Management Baselines (PMB) for all bids.

  • Input and track data from controls
  • Foster a continuous improvement culture within Project Control processes.
  • The ability to establish and meet deadlines, multitask, and prioritise without the requirement for regular direct supervision.
  • Good stakeholder management capabilities, with excellent communication skills and the ability to convey planning information to a variety of stakeholders.
  • A positive attitude, combined with excellent interpersonal and motivational skills, and the ability to embrace and encourage change.


What you will bring

  • Proven experience working as a Project Planner / Project Controller, ideally within the defence (or similar sector)
  • Experience using Primavera P6 to create and maintain Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), conduct Change Control, Forecasting, Deploying KPIs, Variance Analysis, Risk & Opportunity Management, Project Governance and Project Reporting.
  • You will bring structure to complex situations, have a keen eye for detail and the ability evaluate, interpret distil and communicate complex information.


Why join us?

  • Career coaching, mentoring and access to upskilling throughout your entire FDM career
  • Assignments with global companies and opportunities to work abroad
  • Opportunity to re-skill and up-skill into new areas, develop non-linear career paths and build a skillset within your field
  • Annual leave, work-place pension and BAYE share scheme
