Project Controls Lead | Brisbane
A rare opportunity for a driven Project Controls qualified to join a unique team setting.
Take on the Project Controls function for a "huge small business" working with a founder's team.
What it's not:
you won't be a cog, part of the machinations of a faceless corporation, where despite the rhetoric, ultimately, you're still just a number.
Would you rather work with a founder's team than a faceless head office, or even worse, a finance team headed up on the other side of the world?
What it will look like
You'll be able to leave your poker face and the art of playing office politics behind.
No layers. No committees deciding what a committee should decide.
Just a founder-led outfit that's been quietly getting on with the business of doing great work, year on year for decades.
No fuss, no frills. Just a great team, delivering great outcomes for their client base.
This lean team has been winning on a combination of talent and grit. Each player carries a full load and gives it 100%. Until now, each Project Manager has had full accountability for Project Controls.
It's time to hand part of the function over to an expert.
Could it be you?
The role
This is a newly created position:



the first time anyone has sat across the business in this capacity. You'll have overarching accountability for project controls across multiple live projects and clients
Based out of the Brisbane office.
You will:
Own scheduling across projects using Primavera P6 or MS Project
Run cost control: budgeting, forecasting, variance, the lot
Give the business one clear, accurate line of sight on schedule and cost performance across every project and client
Work directly with project managers and clients, not through three layers of approval
Set the systems and standards that this function will run on going forward
About you
8+ years in project controls, ideally within civil, construction or infrastructure delivery
Comfortable running scheduling and cost control yourself, not just overseeing someone else doing it
Expert level with Primavera P6
You like building something rather than maintaining something someone else built
You'd rather have real accountability at a smaller outfit than a title at a big one
You don't need a framework for every decision, and you enjoy a setting where you are trusted to deliver your best work
Must have the legal right to live and work in Australia
