Job summary

Luster National, Inc. in Fresno, California is seeking a Project Controls Manager to manage cost, schedule, and risk for large heavy civil programs across highways, bridges, transit, aviation, and water projects.

You will defend numbers in front of contractors and leadership, ensuring forecasts and reporting tell the same story. This role leads controls staff, coordinates with estimating, scheduling, engineering, contracts, and finance, and contributes to continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of project controls experience on large (> $500M), heavy-civil infrastructure.
• Experience integrating cost and schedule data on a common work breakdown and cost breakdown structure.
• Experience applying earned value methods and critical path schedule analysis to evaluate program performance and forecast outcomes.
• Experience leading or directing project controls staff on a capital program.
• Proficiency with industry standard scheduling and program cost controls software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Oracle Unifier, EcoSys, e-Builder).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the programs integrated controls system, including the work breakdown and cost breakdown structures, coding standards, and baseline change procedures, so cost and schedule data reconcile to the same source.
• Review and validate contractor cost and schedule submittals, including baseline schedules, monthly updates, progress payments, and contingency drawdown requests, against contract requirements and verified field progress.
• Analyze earned value, cost and schedule performance indices, and productivity trends, and surface the variances that will move the forecast before they show up in a monthly report.
• Evaluate change proposals, delay claims, and time impact analyses for cost and schedule merit, and recommend a position to program leadership.
• Oversee the program forecast, cash flow projection, and contingency and reserve position, and test the assumptions behind each of them.
• Coordinate the risk register with the cost and schedule baselines so quantified exposure carries into the forecast and into contingency decisions.
• May lead the monthly controls cycle, presenting cost and schedule status, trends, and recommended corrective action to program leadership.
• Coordinate controls across adjacent contracts and program interfaces so impacts that cross package boundaries are captured before they land in a claim.
• Coordinate that work across roadway and structures packages, systems and trackwork contracts, airfield phasing, and water and utility relocation work.
• Coordinate across estimating, scheduling, engineering, contracts, document control, and finance so one set of numbers supports program decisions.
• Oversee the controls data in the programs management information systems and verify that cost, schedule, and change records are complete, correctly coded, and traceable for funding agency reporting and external audit.
• May lead and mentor controls analysts and specialists, setting expectations for analysis quality, turnaround, and how findings get escalated.
