Perth, WA | Mining & Resources
A senior resources organisation is seeking an experienced
Senior Project Controls Lead
to support a portfolio of brownfields capital works within a live, owner-operator mining setting.
This role is
not
a single-project controls position. It is a
portfolio-level role
focused on execution readiness, governance, and predictability across multiple assets.
Role scope
You will work closely with Projects, Operations, Finance and senior leadership to bring discipline, transparency and certainty to capital execution.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading
front-end planning and execution readiness
across a portfolio of brownfields projects
Developing and maintaining
fully integrated schedules
(Primavera P6 or equivalent), including logic-linked interfaces between projects and operations
Establishing and embedding
project controls standards
, governance frameworks and reporting cadence
Cost control, forecasting, progress measurement (earned value or equivalent) and variance analysis
Supporting transition from study / definition into execution,



including schedule and cost baselining
Providing senior-level insight on schedule risk, sequencing conflicts and capital phasing
Working directly with senior stakeholders to inform decision‐making, not just reporting outcomes
What we're looking for
This role suits someone who is comfortable operating with ambiguity and influence rather than authority.
You will bring:
Extensive experience in
project controls within mining or heavy resources
Proven exposure to
owner‐operator environments
, ideally across multiple assets or portfolios
Strong Primavera P6 capability (or equivalent enterprise scheduling tools)
Demonstrated experience in
brownfields, live‐operations environments
Strong commercial and governance mindset with the ability to challenge assumptions constructively
Confidence engaging with senior leaders and holding the line on planning discipline
Why this role
This is a high‐impact role where strong project controls capability directly influences capital outcomes. The position offers visibility, influence, and the opportunity to shape how capital is executed across a portfolio.
Contract or permanent engagement will be considered.
