Lead the Controls Strategy Behind the UK's Biggest Infrastructure Projects.

This isn’t just a senior role — it’s your opportunity to steer the success of one of the most complex, high-profile transport programmes in the UK. As Senior Project Controls Manager, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and performance, building the systems and teams that make national-scale programmes work.

What You’ll Own

Total Controls Leadership – Lead the integration of cost, schedule, and risk management across a multibillion-pound programme

Performance Management – Implement earned value and reporting systems that drive executive-level decision-making

Team Building – Lead and mentor a high-calibre controls team focused on quality, consistency, and delivery insight

Cross-Functional Collaboration – Align controls with commercial, delivery, and planning teams to ensure unified execution

Governance Excellence – Ensure compliance with NEC contract standards and best-practice controls frameworks

What You Bring

Proven success managing project controls across major infrastructure/transport/rail (£500m+ scale)

Mastery of cost control, risk, and planning tools — including Primavera P6 and ideally Power BI

Strong consultancy approach — confident advising clients and senior stakeholders

Track record building and leading teams in dynamic, high-stakes project environments

Experience with NEC3/NEC4 and structured project governance frameworks

Why This Role Stands Out

Career-Defining Programme – Work on one of the UK’s most important transport infrastructure projects

Supportive Consultancy Culture – Join a team that values growth, innovation, and people-first leadership

Long-Term Opportunity – Secure pipeline of national programmes and progression into strategic leadership

True Flexibility – Hybrid working with a culture built on trust, delivery, and collaboration

Top-Tier Package – Bonus, car allowance, healthcare, life insurance, and more
