Project Controllers are a crucial part of a project team and a key profession in the exciting world of construction & engineering projects. You'll develop a diverse range of skills including project planning & scheduling, cost estimating, and risk management. It might help to know more about what Project Controls is... Most people have heard of Project Managers, Project Controllers work alongside Project Managers to deliver successful projects. Other job titles linked to Project Controls are Planners, Planning Engineers, Schedulers, Cost Engineers, Cost Estimators. Project Controllers provide data-driven insights to enable Project Managers to make decisions. Think of a project as flying a plane, the project controller is the navigator to the project manager 'pilot'. The navigator plans the flightpath and considers duration, speed, risks (bad weather, turbulence). The navigator ultimately enables the pilot to reach the destination. Project Controllers are focused on the timeline and cost of the project: planning the stages, measuring progress and anticipating risks. This involves communicating with lots of people involved in the project (i.e. designers, engineers, trades people). They collect, manage and analyse data through creating spreadsheets and graphs using specific project controls software. VERY importantly, Project Controllers need to be able to explain and present this (often complex) data and findings in ways which others involved in the project will understand. You will be:

• Planning: Creating and managing detailed plans and programmes of works on a variety of interesting construction projects, using project controls related software and IT systems
• Scheduling: Ensuring that activities happen on time
• Progress monitoring: Tracking data and producing project performance reports, which measure and illustrate progress against project targets
• Attending and contributing to planning and progress meetings
• Controlling quality: Ensuring that the project's fulfil their requirements
• Cost control: Ensuring the work is performed within budget
• Risk management: Identifying, analysing and managing risks
This is a great opportunity to learn the essential skills that are already in high demand across the industry, setting you up for unlimited progression and fantastic earning potential.
