New Yesterday

We're working with a growing engineering-led business operating across critical infrastructure and energy markets, supporting complex, project-based delivery across the UK and beyond.
As the business continues to scale, they are looking to hire three Project Controllers at varying levels to strengthen commercial and financial oversight across their project portfolio.
This is a role that sits at the intersection of finance, commercial and project delivery - focused on ensuring projects are financially controlled, commercially sound, and ultimately deliver the profit and cash they are expected to.
The Role

This includes:
Monitoring project costs, revenue and profitability
Producing forecasts and tracking performance against budget
Managing cashflow, invoicing and payment applications
Ensuring projects align with contractual terms and milestones
Identifying risks, challenges and opportunities early
Supporting conversations around project performance and outcomes
At a more senior level, there will be greater involvement in leading project reviews, influencing stakeholders and driving commercial decisions.
About You
This role could suit someone from a range of backgrounds, including:
Project finance / project accounting
Commercial or cost management
Quantity surveying or commercial roles
Project management with strong financial awareness
You'll likely have:
Experience working in a project-based environment (e.g. engineering, construction, infrastructure, manufacturing)
An understanding of cost control, forecasting and financial performance
Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data
The ability to communicate effectively with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
A proactive, commercially minded approach
What's on Offer
A supportive and collaborative working environment
Ongoing training and development opportunities
Electric vehicle scheme
Cycle to work scheme
Mental health ambassadors and wellbeing support
The opportunity to build a career within a growing, project-driven business
This is an excellent opportunity to step into a commercially focused role with real visibility across projects, whether you're early in your career or looking to step up into a more senior position.
