Job Description - 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
Only candidates based in UK and eligible to work in UK are allowed
