Project Control Analyst

The Opportunity:

We are looking for a Project Controls Analyst to join our Portfolio Management Office (PMO) – a function at the heart of project delivery performance, controls, operational insight and executive reporting.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in PMO or project controls in construction or other operational sectors including manufacturing, automotive or aerospace. If you have a strong analytical mindset and enjoy turning project delivery data (cost, schedule, risk) into meaningful insights that support performance improvement and decision-making, we would love to hear from you.

Please note: this is not an IT PMO role.

What will the role look like?

You will report to the Control Room Lead and play a key role in analysing and coordinating key performance data from multiple projects and functions. Your work will contribute directly to monthly reporting cycles and support strategic decision-making across the portfolio.

You will:

• Analyse and coordinate project controls data, tracking actions to maintain delivery momentum and visibility
• Gather and interpret cost, schedule, and risk data to support dashboards, trend analysis, and insight reporting
• Support the development and improvement of data sources, particularly within the risk and opportunity management process
• Identify trends, risks, and performance issues through integrated portfolio data analysis
• Contribute to enhancing how data is structured, shared, and used across the portfolio
• Support structured project controls reviews and cross-functional workshops

What skills & experience are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical, and detail-focused, with a passion for project controls and using data to drive better outcomes.

You will bring:

• Strong data analysis and reporting skills (Power BI, MS Excel, or project management tools)
• Experience managing structured reporting cycles and improving how data is presented and interpreted
• Good understanding of project controls principles, including cost, schedule, and risk management
• Knowledge of executive reporting, performance metrics, and leading indicators
• Commercial awareness, including how cost and risk impact project and portfolio performance
• A collaborative mindset, with the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insight

Ideal background:

We are particularly interested in candidates who have:

• Background as a PMO Analyst, Project Controller, or in a Project Controls/Analyst role in a project delivery environment (desirable)
• Commercial acumen (desirable)
• Experience working across functions and combining multiple data sets into a single, clear narrative
• Experience in construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, automotive, or aerospace
• Experience supporting project delivery, portfolio management, reporting, or planning functions (non-IT PMO)
