Associate Director – Project Controls

London | Hybrid Working

Excellent Salary + Comprehensive Benefits

Are you an experienced Project Controls leader looking to shape the delivery of some of the UK's most complex infrastructure programmes?

I'm partnering with a leading consultancy that is continuing to invest in its Project Controls capability. As part of its growth strategy, it's seeking an Associate Director to lead the delivery of Project Controls services across a diverse portfolio of major infrastructure projects while helping to develop clients, teams, and future business opportunities.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious leader looking to combine technical excellence, client engagement, and business growth within a collaborative and highly respected consultancy.

The Role

As an Associate Director, you'll play a key role in leading Project Controls teams and advising clients on the successful delivery of major capital programmes.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading multidisciplinary Project Controls teams across complex infrastructure programmes
  • Providing strategic advice on project controls, governance, and performance management
  • Building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders
  • Overseeing project performance across cost, schedule, risk, and change
  • Supporting business development, bids, and client growth
  • Developing and mentoring Project Controls professionals
  • Driving continuous improvement and best practice across project controls delivery

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
