Job Description

The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it's a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.

We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract. We are looking for a Project Controls Manager responsible for developing and producing reliable management information on the CPS-managed investment programme and PM/PMO contractual performance for internal and external use. The post holder will liaise with subject matter experts (e.g., Commercial Managers and Planners) to ensure all PM & PMO reporting is aligned and consistent.

The role also involves managing a regular reporting cycle to meet CPS management needs and external stakeholders, ensuring timely and quality content. The post holder will improve reporting methods, including automation, to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and improve reporting for PM & PMO covering delivery performance and contractual compliance, identifying data sources, owners, and quality criteria.
• Provide project, portfolio, and programme level reporting on delivery to meet monthly deadlines, ensuring data quality.
• Create contractual compliance reports covering response times, performance improvement actions, and penalties, for monitoring and action tracking.
• Implement automation in reporting processes to reduce manual handling, increase speed, and ensure repeatability.
• Build relationships with stakeholders to understand and improve reporting requirements.
• Ensure follow-up on actions identified in reports, updating reports accordingly.
• Manage a team of performance analysts, providing leadership, setting objectives, and fostering high performance.
• Introduce Change Control capabilities within the PMO, including a Project Change Register.
• Develop and implement a Project Risk Management capability following industry norms.

Qualifications

• Degree in a technical or engineering discipline.
• Experience working in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Proven ability to handle large data volumes and summarize key trends.
• Experience with analysis and reporting software tools.
• Leadership experience in complex infrastructure organizations.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Experience with change management.
• Understanding of Highways infrastructure and stakeholder roles (preferred).
• Methodical, output-focused, quality-driven, and continuous improvement mindset.
• Ability to demonstrate CPS values: One Team, Trust, Customer Focus, Respect, and Excellence.
• Flexible, adaptable, resilient under pressure, and effective communicator.
• Proven delivery record and self-awareness.
