The role
As Project Controls Manager, you'll establish and lead the entire project controls function for complex subsea rock installation programmes, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and predictably.
You'll bring together planning, scheduling, cost control, progress measurement, forecasting and performance reporting into one integrated delivery function, providing project leadership with the insight needed to make critical decisions throughout execution. This is a highly visible position where your expertise will directly influence project success.
