Job Description

What You'll Do

• Administer the platform: Maintain the Planisware environment for the North Europe region, including project structures, workflows, templates, and user roles — keeping configuration consistent with global standards.
• Own data quality: Set and enforce data governance standards across the regional portfolio. Conduct regular audits, apply corrective actions, and ensure project data is accurate and audit-ready at all times.
• Support project controls delivery: Work directly with project teams to support Earned Value Management (EVM), schedule management, RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) tracking, and change control processes.
• Manage the reporting rhythm: Oversee the regional reporting cadence, validate data ahead of executive reviews, and ensure outputs are accurate and distributed on schedule.
• Build capability across the region: Act as the first point of contact for platform queries. Lead onboarding and training sessions to improve adoption and reduce recurring errors.
• Drive continuous improvement: Identify workflow inefficiencies, contribute to the global Project Controls community of practice, and participate in the testing and rollout of platform updates.

Who We're Looking For

You are a detail-oriented project controls professional who is as comfortable working with data systems as you are working with people. You build trust through consistency, communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, and take ownership of the processes others depend on.

Required

• Experience in project controls, project administration, or a PMO (Project Management Office) capacity within the energy, engineering, or infrastructure sectors.
• Hands-on experience administering or managing data within an enterprise PPM or project management platform such as Planisware, Oracle Primavera P6, or equivalent.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite — particularly Excel for data manipulation and reporting, and PowerPoint for executive-level dashboards and presentations.
• A formal education and subsequent Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant subject such as Engineering, Project Management, or Business is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.

Preferred

• Certification in Planisware or a comparable platform administration credential; familiarity with EVM and schedule management principles.
• PRINCE2 Foundation, APM PMQ (Project Management Qualification), or equivalent project management certification.
• Demonstrated ability to build consensus and guide adoption of new processes across teams without direct authority over those teams.
