Job description

OHB Sweden is a leading provider of satellites and satellite sub-systems for Low-Earth-Orbit, geostationary and interplanetary missions. We develop, build, test and operate space systems for missions within communications, earth observation, space research and exploration. Our activity focus is small satellites as well as on propulsion subsystems and innovative Attitude & Orbit Control Systems (AOCS).

We are now looking for a new team member for our Project Office team, ready to enable our customers’ space ambitions. We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Controller with a creative and solution-oriented mindset.

As Senior Project Controller, you will drive financial and schedule performance for some of our most important missions. You will work closely with project managers, engineering teams, procurement, and management to secure transparency, predictability, and control.

Your main tasks include:

Project Financials & Reporting

• Own and maintain cost, schedule, and risk control across multiple running projects
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow analysis, and EAC updates
• Monitor variances and trends, propose corrective actions, and ensure decision-ready reporting
• Prepare internal and external project status reports used for customer reviews and steering boards

Planning & Forecasting

• Analyse resource usage, workload forecasts, and cost drivers
• Support project managers in building robust baselines and maintaining updated project schedules
• Ensure project KPIs are met and deviations are flagged early

Process Development & Tools

• Drive continuous improvement of project control practices at OHB Sweden
• Help to further develop and standardize our Antura-based project control routines
• Introduce new methods, templates, and reporting structures to improve efficiency and transparency

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with engineering, procurement, contracts, and finance to maintain accurate project data
• Ensure alignment between technical progress, procurement status, resource planning, and financial reporting
• Support proposal teams with cost inputs, scenario modelling, and price calculations

Your Profile

We are looking for a proactive and analytical project controller who enjoys both depth and structure—someone who stays calm under pressure and keeps the big picture in mind.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience in project control, project finance, or project management in a technical environment
• Experience with EAC, budgeting, forecasting, and KPI-driven performance monitoring
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear insights
• Solid skills in Excel and project management tools (experience with Antura is a strong merit)
• Excellent communication skills in English (Swedish is an advantage)
• Structured, self-driven, and comfortable working both independently and in cross-functional teams

Meriting

• Experience from aerospace/defence, engineering, or other complex project environments
• Experience in improving tools, workflows, and reporting standards
• Understanding of ECSS processes is a plus
• Experience in Power BI as an advantage

What We Offer:

• A key role in some of Sweden’s most exciting satellite projects
• A dynamic environment where you directly influence project execution and company performance
• Close collaboration with project managers, engineering teams, and management
• A chance to shape and professionalize the project control discipline at OHB Sweden
• A workplace with high engagement, responsibility, and trust

Ready to Join Us?

Being a company with around 170 international employees and growing, much of the expertise lies on the employee to handle tasks autonomously, efficiently and work closely with colleagues, suppliers and customers.

If you are highly motivated to participate in the development of future space systems, feel confident that you meet the above requirements and want to find yourself in a dynamic and inspiring work environment, then we look forward to hearing from you!
