Project Controls Engineer
Location: Acton, West London
Sector: Data Centres
Salary: £35,000 – £40,000 + Package
The Opportunity
A specialist contractor is looking to appoint a Project Controls Engineer to support the delivery of a major hyperscale data centre development in West London.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong analytical, reporting, and digital skills to build their career within project controls while working on a complex and high-profile construction scheme.
You will sit at the centre of project reporting, helping delivery teams understand progress, performance, trends, and risks through accurate data and meaningful analysis.
Role Overview
The role will focus on maintaining project controls systems, producing reliable reports and dashboards, and ensuring project information is accurate, consistent, and available to the right stakeholders.
You will work closely with project managers, planners, commercial teams, and discipline leads to capture and validate progress data across both pre-construction and construction. You will also help analyse schedule, cost, and performance information, identify emerging trends, and support informed project decision-making.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There will be a strong digital element to the position, including the development of Power BI dashboards, reporting automation, and improvements to existing project controls processes.
About You
You will ideally have experience within project controls, reporting, project performance, or data analysis in a construction or infrastructure environment.
Strong Power BI and Microsoft Office skills are important, along with a good understanding of project management and project controls principles. Exposure to programme information and Primavera P6 would be beneficial but is not essential.
A degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Controls, Data Science, or a related discipline would be preferred. Further training or qualifications in Power BI, Power Platform, reporting, or data analytics would also be advantageous.
