Description

At MIGSO-PCUBED (MP), we’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Controller to join our growing Aerospace & Defence team in London.

This is an opportunity to become part of a business that specialises in project, programme and portfolio management, working alongside some of the most complex and ambitious programmes across the Aerospace & Defence sector. You’ll be joining a team where project controls isn’t simply about producing reports and tracking numbers - it’s about providing the insight, structure and confidence that enables major programmes to make better decisions and deliver successfully. You’ll work at the heart of complex programmes, partnering with Project Managers, Programme Managers, engineers and senior stakeholders to bring together cost, schedule, risk, change and performance information. Your analysis and expertise will help teams understand where a programme is today, where it is heading, and what needs to happen to keep delivery on track. At MP, we also see your next role as important as your current one. That’s why we invest in your development through structured career pathways, ongoing training and support towards professional qualifications, including APM qualifications. Whether your ambition is to become a Project Controls specialist, move into Project Management or progress towards Programme leadership, we’ll support you in building the experience and credentials to get there. If you’re looking for a role where you can work on complex Aerospace & Defence programmes, develop your expertise and build a long-term career in project and programme management, we’d like to hear from you.
