Project Controls Specialists

Project Controls Specialists

Bristol | Permanent | £40K to £75K depending on role and level

If your Project Controls background is built around hands-on planning, risk, cost, EVM etc., I am recruiting across several permanent opportunities supporting complex UK defence programmes.

You do not need to cover every discipline. You can be a specialist or a project controls generalist. 

Current opportunities include

Project Controls Managers

Integrated Project Controls Specialists 

Project Planning and Scheduling

Project Risk Management

Project Cost Control and Cost Engineering

Project Controls and performance analysis

Junior and developing Project Controls positions for candidates with genuine hands-on experience in planning, risk or cost

More experienced specialist and consultancy roles across different levels

Depending on your discipline, your experience could include

Creating, maintaining and analysing project schedules

Baseline management, Critical Path Analysis and change control

Schedule Risk Analysis and project performance assessment

Identifying, assessing and managing project risks and opportunities

Facilitating risk reviews and supporting quantitative risk analysis

Cost control, forecasting, EAC and variance analysis

Earned Value Management and wider project performance reporting

Working with delivery teams and stakeholders in complex regulated project environments

What we are looking for

Hands-on capability in at least 1 Project Controls discipline

Practical evidence of producing and using Project Controls information rather than simply reporting it

Experience working within complex projects or programmes

Relevant tool experience connected to real project activity

Strong analytical skills and the ability to explain what project information means for delivery

Defence experience is particularly important for a number of the current opportunities. Closely related backgrounds such as aerospace, maritime or nuclear may also be relevant depending on the role.

These positions are not aimed at Project Managers or PMO professionals whose experience is primarily governance, coordination or reporting without hands-on Project Controls capability.

Security

requirements

Applicants must be British nationals and able to meet the relevant UK security clearance

requirements.

Dual nationals may be considered. Some opportunities require dual-national candidates to already hold current SC clearance so exact eligibility will depend on the individual role.

Location

The campaign is focused on Bristol but roles are also available in other areas of the southwest and South Wales. 

Salary

£40K to £75K, depending on the opportunity, discipline and level.

Individual vacancies have their own salary bands so we can discuss which options best fit your experience and expectations
