[Hiring] Director of Project Controls @Riot Platforms, Inc.

Role Description

The Director of Controls will build and manage the controls process from the ground up: the standards, processes and tools we use to manage cost, schedule, change management and risk on every project. This is both a builder and manager role. You'll create a controls system that is set up once and repeated on every new site. Then you will manage and support the onsite control managers who will execute and utilize that system.

• Build our construction controls framework, organized around a standard work breakdown structure (WBS) and cost coding.
• Design and lead the change management process end to end: how changes are submitted, reviewed and approved, and how they flow into budgets and forecasts.
• Create a risk management process that identifies and tracks project risks and ties contingency to them.
• Work with Procurement to set up PO and commitment tracking so committed, invoiced and remaining costs are visible on every project.
• Lead budgeting, cost forecasting and monthly reporting, including an executive dashboard leadership can rely on.
• Set scheduling standards and keep the critical path and long-lead equipment in front of leadership.
• Select and implement controls tools, connected to our finance and project management systems.
• Build and lead the controls team and set the standard for third-party schedulers and cost managers.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in project controls on large capital construction projects, including 5+ years in a leadership role.
• A track record of building a controls function or system, not only running an existing one.
• Owner-side or owner's-rep experience on data center, mission-critical, power, or heavy industrial projects.
• Strong command of WBS and cost coding, scheduling, change management, risk management, and forecasting.
• Primavera P6 experience.
• The ability to turn project controls data into clear recommendations for executives and finance.
• A bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, finance, or a related field.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $165,000 - $190,000 (commensurate with experience) + bonus + sign-on equity grant.
• Long-Term Growth: Eligible to participate in Riot’s equity incentive programs and share in the success you help build.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan: Includes a generous company match.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Multiple medical plan options, including 100% company-paid plans.
• Wellness & Lifestyle Perks: Enjoy free gym memberships, pet insurance, childcare discounts, and more to support your life both in and out of work.
