Work with PACE Global – The UK’s #1 Project Controls Recruiter

Due to major growth, our client is seeking Project Controls Managers UK wide.

People who can lead, influence and drive better project outcomes.

You’ll be joining a major UK infrastructure programme with all the complexity and challenge you’d expect — multi-£bn budget, multiple stakeholders, and serious opportunity to make your mark.

What you’ll do

• Own cost, schedule, and risk integration across a live capital programme.
• Lead, coach, and uplift a high-performing team of planners, cost, and risk professionals.
• Turn data into decisions — from Power BI dashboards to executive reporting.
• Champion project controls best practice and continuous improvement.

What you’ll bring

• Solid experience in Project Controls Management within infrastructure, energy, or defence.
• Strong grasp of P6, cost management, and reporting tools (Power BI a big plus).
• The confidence to influence senior stakeholders — and the credibility to back it up.
• A mindset that’s proactive, not reactive. You see the issues before they happen.

This isn’t another “steady-state” controls role. It’s a chance to shape delivery on a nationally significant programme — and to work with one of the industry’s leading consultancies.

PACE Global will guide you through every step, offering access to our exclusive network and insider insights from across the project controls community.
