Project Controls Manager - Major Rail Client - London, UK (ref TB245)

We have just been engaged by a well-known management consultancy, a company which is UK-wide (and internationally) across a range of infrastructure sectors and projects.  A major new commission means they are now looking to recruit a Project Controls Manager, based in London.  Heading up the Project Controls function, you will act on behalf of their client to produce robust and deliverable construction schedules.   You’ll need to combine software-based skills to manipulate, analyse and report on data, alongside a thorough understanding of how projects are put together at ground level.

You will also be responsible for training and mentoring junior staff to ensure the long term success of the department.

It’s an important position, and you’ll have a critical impact on the company’s ongoing success.  To be considered, you MUST:

-  have a background in UK main contracting, consultancy or client-side environments for the rail engineering sector;
- be able to demonstrate experience of projects in excess of £20m;
- possess a strong background in project planning – not just driving the software, but also having a real understanding of actual construction techniques and sequences;
- have knowledge of EVA techniques and reporting;
- be able to use Primavera P6 or related software

The role is offered on a contract basis at c. £425 to £475 a day.
