Your day to day –


  • Project Planning and Scheduling: Develop and manage detailed project schedules across all phases of delivery, ensuring alignment with project milestones and client expectations.
  • Cost Control: Monitor project costs, implement cost control measures, and provide regular cost forecasts to ensure projects stay within budget.
  • Risk Management: Identify potential project risks early, develop mitigation strategies, and monitor risk throughout the project lifecycle to minimise impacts on project outcomes.
  • Performance Reporting: Generate regular progress reports, tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as earned value, schedule performance, and cost variances, ensuring clear communication with stakeholders.
  • Resource Allocation: Work with project teams to determine resource requirements and ensure that the necessary personnel and materials are available to meet project goals.
  • Change Management: Oversee change control processes, ensuring that any scope changes are properly documented, costed, and incorporated into the project plan.
  • Stakeholder Management: Act as the main point of contact for internal and external stakeholders on project controls, ensuring alignment with client and regulatory requirements.
  • Continuous Improvement: Develop and implement best practices in project controls, continuously improving processes and systems to increase efficiency and project success.
  • Compliance: Ensure that all project controls adhere to industry standards and meet the regulatory frameworks, particularly in the nuclear and low-carbon energy sectors.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, project managers, and finance teams, to ensure integrated project delivery.


About you –


  • Experienced in project controls, ideally in nuclear or low-carbon energy sectors.
  • Knowledgeable about energy transition projects, particularly hydrogen and net-zero.
  • Proficient in scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera, MS Project) and cost management software.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to manage complex data sets and draw insights to inform project decision-making.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively manage stakeholder relationships.
  • A proactive problem solver, with a passion for delivering results in complex environments.
  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks for nuclear and low-carbon projects is a plus.
