Programme Controller

Programme Controller with strong experience of large scale capital infrastructure projects required by a well-known, long-established company based in Sussex, who provide a vital service across critical national infrastructure. This Programme Controller role will see you working across strategic programmes which focus on capital infrastructure investments, and you'd be involved in planning, scheduling, cost projections and working with that data.

We'd ideally like to see candidates from large scale infrastructure backgrounds such as construction, energy, rail, highways, utilities, oil & gas, mining etc, as it's important to understand how programme financials work in these types of settings. You'll must have good exposure to programme values in excess of £200m, and not just following due process but thinking outside the box.

In this role you will be involved in programme values between £400m and £2bn - so prior exposure managing these sorts of budgets is a hard requirement. Any additional understanding of utilities or national infrastructure regulation and compliance would be a bonus. As you'll be supporting the strategic leadership team with reports and analysis, you'll need strong knowledge of excel, and Oracle's Primavera P6 platform would be a nice-to-have.

Programme Controller requirements:

• Career experience as a Programme Controller, programme planner/analyst or similar role supporting the delivery of large infrastructure/capital projects
• Strong ability to understand programme data and draw conclusions on project overspending and general forecasting
• Sector experience - national infrastructure backgrounds such as construction, energy, rail, highways, utilities, oil & gas, mining etc is essential
• Reporting: Excellent grasp of Excel and working with data, with exposure to Oracle's Primavera P6 platform a bonus
• Adept in working on large-budget asset management/capital investment programmes (£400m - £2bn) across national infrastructure
• PMI, APM, MRICS or similar qualifications/background would also be good to see, as would any finance-based qualifications or perhaps an MSc in project management - but career experience is the most important

This Programme Controller role offers a competitive salary of £60,000 to £75,000 plus bonus plus excellent benefits. You'll sit in a growing team with supportive and present management and there is plenty of scope to grow and develop. The position is hybrid but flexible, ideally requiring ~2 days in the Brighton office, however there is also flexibility on working locations across other offices in Sussex and Kent.
