Project Controls Manager

Role description

Role Overview

Join our team as the Project Controls Manager and take ownership of the cost and schedule integrity of every Engineered to Order (ETO) manufacturing program we run. You will build and enforce the baseline discipline that lets the PMO forecast credibly — a common WBS, a common schedule structure, a common cost taxonomy, and a reporting layer that ties production reality back to the numbers we quoted.

What You Will Do

Establish and maintain PMO-wide standards for cost and schedule baselining, including a common WBS and cost code structure across both manufacturing sectors. Define the cross-sector standard for how a cost or schedule baseline may be revised — what triggers a re-baseline, who approves it, and how the original commitment stays visible after the change.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We are seeking a deeply analytical professional with a proven background in cost engineering, project controls, or manufacturing finance, and the credibility to hold project managers and operations leaders to a standard.

Requirements

• Minimum of 6+ years in project controls, cost engineering, or manufacturing finance, including work in an ETO or make-to-order production environment.
• Bachelor of Science: BS in Engineering, Construction Management, Finance, Accounting, or a closely related quantitative field.
• Cost Management: Demonstrated ownership of cost baselines, earned value or equivalent progress measurement, and estimate-at-completion forecasting.
• Advanced Modeling Capability: Advanced Google Sheets modeling including dynamic cost structures, sensitivity analysis, and large-scale data reconciliation.
• Technical Proficiency: Hands-on ERP experience for job costing, work orders, and BOM-level cost roll-up. Proficiency in Google Suite and Microsoft Office.
• Schedule Development & Management: Strong scheduling literacy across Smartsheet, MS Project, Monday.com or Primavera P6 — with the ability to audit and correct schedule logic.
• Team Collaboration: Proven ability to influence project managers and operations leaders without direct authority.
