PROJECT CONTROLS MANAGER - INFRASTRUCTURE

We're seeking a Project Controls Manager to join Movar's growing consultancy team, delivering integrated cost, schedule, and performance controls on major infrastructure, utilities, and rail programmes across the UK and Dublin.

Founded in 2013, Movar is a specialist project delivery consultancy which helps organisations improve how projects are delivered. With over a decade of success behind them and ambitious growth ahead, they are building a team of project professionals who are curious, collaborative, and passionate about creating lasting change.

In this role, you'll take the lead in developing and embedding robust project control systems covering cost management, scheduling, risk management and performance reporting on programmes exceeding £10m in value. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, project teams, and external partners to provide data-driven insights, ensure governance compliance, and optimise delivery outcomes.

Expect a varied remit, from setting project control baselines and conducting earned value analysis, to running schedule risk assessments and producing clear, actionable performance dashboards. You'll also play a key role in standardising best practices across multiple projects, ensuring consistency, transparency, and accuracy in all reporting.

This is a great opportunity to join a people-focused, growing consultancy where your voice will be heard, your ideas welcomed, and your contribution recognised. While Movar supports remote working, you'll need to travel to client sites and offices in the UK or Dublin as required.

Key Requirements: You should be a confident and experienced Project Controls Manager / Project Controls Specialist / Planning & Controls Manager or similar with a CV that demonstrates:

• 5+ years experience in project controls within infrastructure, utilities, or rail
• Proven track record on projects exceeding £10m in value
• Expertise in integrated project control systems and earned value management (EVM)
• Advanced skills in cost management, scheduling, and risk integration
• Proficiency in Primavera P6, Power BI, and cost management systems
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear insights
• Excellent communication skills, capable of influencing senior stakeholders

A relevant degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Finance or related discipline and professional qualifications (AACEI, APM, PMI) is advantageous but not essential.

You'll ideally be based in the UK or Dublin with flexibility to travel. Permanent and contract opportunities are available, with competitive packages:

Permanent: Up to £80,000 + pension, life insurance, and benefits  //  Contract: £500/day (inside IR35)

Movar offers a supportive, collaborative culture where professional growth is encouraged, and your next project is always lined up. Apply today and join a team shaping the future of project delivery.
