responsible for establishing, implementing, and enforcing robust frameworks for cost
engineering, baseline scheduling, earned value management (EVM), risk mitigation,
and change management. The ideal candidate will act as a critical advisory partner to
project managers and executives, delivering data-driven insights to ensure large-scale
capital projects are executed on time and within budget.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership & Governance
 Establish governance frameworks: Define, standardize, and implement project
control policies, tools, and methodologies across the enterprise.
 Lead the controls team: Manage, mentor, and build succession plans for a team of

 System integration: Oversee the deployment and optimization of project control
software (e.g., Primavera P6, EcoSys, PRISM).
Performance, Cost & Schedule Management
 Baseline management: Develop, approve, and maintain integrated Performance
Measurement Baselines (PMB) combining cost, schedule, and scope.
 Cost engineering: Oversee budgeting, cash flow forecasting, variance analysis, and
Cost Breakdown Structures (CBS).
 Advanced scheduling: Ensure structural integrity of master schedules using critical
path analysis and S Curves.
 Earned Value Management: Implement robust EVM techniques to calculate
schedule and cost performance indexes (SPI/CPI).
Risk, Change & Claims Control
 Quantitative risk analysis: Lead risk registers and perform Monte Carlo simulations
to quantify budget and schedule contingencies.
 Change control workflow: Enforce a strict change management process to review,
log, and assess the impact of scope variations.
 Claims & delay support: Provide data analytics and forensic delay analysis to
support time extension claims or contract disputes.Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement Executive dashboards: Design and present automated BI dashboards (e.g., Power
BI) showing real-time project metrics to senior leadership.
 Early warning systems: Identify trends, highlight deviations early, and collaborate
with project managers on recovery strategies.
 Cross-functional alignment: Serve as the primary point of contact for external
clients, subcontractors, and internal finance divisions.
Qualifications and Experience
 Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management
 Experience: Minimum of 13 years of dedicated project controls experience, with at
least 5 years in a senior supervisory or managerial role.
 Industry certification: CCP (Certified Cost Professional), PSP (Planning &
Scheduling Professional), or PMP (Project Management Professional) designation is
highly desirable.
 Technical proficiencies: Expert-level mastery of Primavera P6, MS Project,
advanced Excel, database systems, and Power BI visualization tools.
 Core competencies: Outstanding commercial acumen, data literacy, and the ability
to influence cross-functional executive teams.
