[Hiring] Project Controls Manager @Volta

Role Description

The Project Controls Manager owns cost, schedule, and risk across a portfolio of concurrent Volta projects. Reporting into the VP, Project Controls function, you will sit above individual project-level controls leads, consolidating their reporting into a single, credible regional view and making sure controls practice is applied consistently across every project you oversee.

You will work closely with Project Delivery Managers and embedded Project Controls Leads to hold baselines, govern change, and give leadership an honest, portfolio-level picture of where delivery stands — while coaching and developing the controls capability across your projects.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own cost, schedule, and risk reporting across a portfolio of concurrent projects
• Consolidate project-level controls data from embedded Project Controls Leads into a single regional view
• Govern baselines and change control consistently across the projects in your portfolio
• Run portfolio-level risk reviews and drive mitigation across projects
• Coach and develop embedded Project Controls Leads on cost, planning, and reporting practice
• Interrogate contractor schedules and cost submissions across your portfolio
• Produce clear, decision-ready reporting for regional and executive leadership
• Apply and reinforce fleet-wide controls standards and systems across your projects
• Support new projects entering your portfolio with baseline setup and controls mobilisation

Qualifications

• Project controls experience on data centre or major capital projects is essential, including exposure to both cost and schedule disciplines
• A track record managing controls across multiple concurrent projects, not just a single site
• Strong command of Primavera P6 and enterprise cost management systems
• Experience consolidating project-level data into portfolio-level reporting
• A record coaching or developing more junior controls staff
• Sharp analytical skills and clear, confident reporting to senior stakeholders
• Willingness to travel across the projects in your portfolio

Nice to Have

• Experience specifically in data centre or mission-critical facility project controls
• Familiarity with earned value management and structured risk management frameworks
• Background progressing toward a VP or function-manager level controls role
