Project Controls Manager

Project Controls Manager establishes and operates the integrated project controls framework to manage overall project performance across Scope, Schedule, Cost, Risk and interfaces.

He/She leads the integration of controls processes, ensures alignment among packages/disciplines/organizations, and manages technical and execution interfaces to prevent gaps, overlaps, and out-of-sequence work. The role also provides Owner-side oversight of the GC(General contractor) s schedule progress, payment progress, and actual performance verification, ensuring KPI and reporting integrity for reliable decision-making by the Client.

SCOPE OF MANAGEMENT:

* Establish integrated Project Controls procedures and detailed workflows for stakeholders (Owner/PMO, CM, Designer, GC, Vendors).

* Manage and maintain an integrated performance baseline (scope/schedule/cost) and change governance linkage to ensure single-source-of-truth project status.

* Lead interface management across trades/packages and between organizations; ensure technical linkages and handover requirements are defined, tracked, and closed.

* Oversee and validate GC-submitted deliverables including:

* baseline and updated schedules, progress updates, look-aheads earned progress / actual verification, productivity trends payment applications and progress measurement basis

* Implement KPI governance and reporting controls to ensure data quality, consistency, traceability, and auditability.

* Prepare periodic/non-periodic integrated dashboards and reports (performance, interfaces, risks, corrective actions) to support management decisions.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

[CAT 1] Project Controls Framework & Governance

1. Establish project-wide Integrated Project Controls Plan covering: WBS/CBS/OBS alignment and coding structure progress measurement rules (physical % complete, milestones, quantity-based, etc.) change control linkage (scope/schedule/cost/risk) data cut-off rules, reporting calendar, approval workflow

2. Standardize tools, templates, and reporting formats across stakeholders for consistent controls and traceability.

3. Set up governance for baseline management, variance analysis, and corrective action tracking.

[CAT 2] Integrated Performance Management (Scope / Schedule / Cost / Risk)

* Maintain and manage integrated performance status across:
Scope: scope register, deliverables status, package boundaries, gaps/overlaps,

Schedule:

baseline integrity, critical path, constraints, recovery plans, Cost: alignment of progress, commitments, forecast, and change impacts (in coordination with Cost Manager/QS if applicable), Risk: schedule/cost risk drivers, mitigation tracking, contingency logic (as applicable)

* Conduct periodic integrated performance reviews to identify root causes of variance and recommend mitigation/recovery actions.

* Provide forward-looking forecasts (schedule and performance) and early warnings on potential impacts.

[CAT 3] Interface Management

* Establish and operate an Interface Management Framework, including:interface register (package-to-package, discipline-to-discipline, org-to-org), interface ownership (RACI), due dates, and acceptance criteria technical handover requirements and dependency mapping

* Facilitate interface coordination meetings and manage resolution of cross-package issues: design/engineering deliverable dependencies constructability sequencing constraints temporary works, tie-ins, shutdown windows, access constraints

* Ensure interface decisions are documented, tracked, and reflected in schedule and execution plans.

[CAT 4] GC Oversight Schedule / Progress / Payment / Actual Verification

Review and validate GC baseline schedule and updates for: logic quality, resource/cost loading expectations (if required) critical path credibility, float management, and change incorporation alignment to contract milestones and package interfaces

1. Verify reported progress/actuals through defined validation methods (e.g., quantity checks, milestone evidence, field verification, deliverables completion evidence).

2. Review payment applications (??) by confirming: progress measurement basis and supporting documentationconsistency between claimed…
