This role is for a detail-oriented professional who thrives at the intersection of financial control, project delivery, and data-driven decision-making.

About The Role

As Project Controller, you play a critical role in ensuring robust financial, planning, and performance control across our projects.

You work closely with Project Managers and cross-functional teams, providing independent insight into project financials, schedules, and risks. Your focus is to create transparency, ensure consistency, and support informed decision-making—ultimately helping to protect project margins and strengthen governance.

Operating within Frontmatec's project management framework, you support projects from contract handover through execution to final delivery, contributing to a structured and disciplined project environment.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Ensure robust financial control across projects, including cost, revenue, margin, and cash flow tracking, as well as accurate forecasting and cost-to-complete
• Monitor project schedules, milestones, and progress, providing clear visibility on deviations and critical path performance
• Deliver structured and consistent reporting (dashboards, KPIs, and review inputs) aligned with governance standards
• Identify and track financial and schedule risks and opportunities, ensuring early visibility and proactive escalation
• Act as a business partner to Project Managers, providing data-driven insight and constructive challenge
• Support continuous improvement of project controls, reporting quality, and standardisation across tools and processes

Your Background

• Experience in project controlling, financial analysis, or a similar role within a project-driven environment
• Strong understanding of project financials, forecasting, and cost control
• Advanced Excel and strong analytical capability
• Structured and detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy
• Ability to translate complex data into clear and actionable insights
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience from engineering, manufacturing, or project-based environments is an advantage
• Familiarity with project management frameworks, governance models, and planning tools
• Understanding of commercial and contract management principles

What We Expect From You

You ensure accurate, timely, and transparent reporting and take ownership of data quality and consistency. You identify risks early and support decision-making with clear, fact-based insights.

You operate independently while maintaining strong collaboration with Project Managers, challenging constructively and contributing to better project outcomes. Through your structured approach, you help strengthen governance, accountability, and financial discipline across projects.

What We Offer

At Frontmatec, you become part of an international organization with a strong technical foundation and clear ambitions for growth and development. We offer:

• A key role in strengthening project governance and financial control
• Exposure to complex, high-impact technical projects
• Close collaboration with Project Managers and senior stakeholders
