For our Sizewell B project, we are looking to recruit a Junior Project Controller
Reporting to the Project Controls Manager, the Junior Project Controller is responsible for generating project controls outputs as directed by their Project Controls Manager. These outputs will be used as components to build the larger picture of project performance in support of project management and customer/ business reporting requirements.
The role is expected to produce outputs across all project controls sub-functions under supervision and guidance from more senior Project Controls staff. This is a training role and as such there is an expectation the role will not be able to work autonomously and will require daily supervision and direction by more senior project controls staff.
In accordance with the project drumbeat and functional quality standards, undertake simple and routine Project Controls activities across all sub-disciplines, such as:

Cost Control

• Utilise SAP to generate cost collection codes, extract data, and produce cost reports;
• Work with project and work package managers to generate estimates of cost for new work packages and the remaining cost (Estimate to Complete, ETC);
• Gather and validate actual costs for work packages.

Planning & Scheduling

• Become familiar with a project schedule, being able to identify and communicate the critical path, describe upcoming activities and progress made, and compare this to the baseline;
• Extract reports, data, and periodic lookaheads for projects and work packages from the schedule;
• Conduct periodic schedule updates for progress made and future reforecasting;

RAID Management

• Understand the project RAID log and be able to describe the risks and their impacts to the relevant work packages;
• Be able to produce standard RAID reports such as TopN, Due Mitigation Actions, and Contingency Drawdown Curves;
• Update individual risks with risk owners including revising impacts and updating mitigation actions. 

Document Control

• Interface with document control systems, uploading/ downloading documentation and extracting data for status reporting;
• Issue, track and log transmittals;
• Conduct non-technical documentation reviews.

The above will be undertaken as as directed by the Project Controls Manager 

To be considered, we are looking for the following skills and experience:

As an entrant into the Junior Project Controller role, we are looking for someone who has typically spent some time in a project environment in a non-project control role, or spent time in a more complex administrative role outside of the project environment.

• An aptitude for data and numbers, personable with the ability to communicate well with project staff, and have a drive for their own personal development, being keen to develop new skills and progress within the project controls function.
• Ability to be taught and heavily guided on the referenced activities expected of the role.

As an established Junior Project Controller you will be able to conduct the referenced activities and produce the referenced outputs with a moderate level of supervision and support, maintaining a good attention to detail and promptly actioning the feedback received from more senior project controls staff. You will have the ability to start to probe and question the information they are receiving from project managers and functions, and be able to develop solutions to simple but novel scenarios.

1 Year

• APM Associate Membership
• APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ)
• Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Associate

2 Years

• APMG Project Planning & Controls (PPC) Foundation
