* Analyze schedule delays, cost trends, productivity movement, and performance deviations to provide early warning insights to project leadership.
* Direct the preparation of daily, weekly, and monthly project controls reports for senior management, clients, and key project stakeholders.
* Convert complex project data into clear dashboards, trend analysis, variance commentary, and recovery recommendations.
* Manage the change control process, including review of contract modifications, schedule impact analysis, cost impact assessment, documentation, and approval workflows.
* Work closely with project management teams to identify, quantify, monitor, and report project risks that may affect cost, schedule, scope, or delivery confidence.
* Maintain oversight of the project risk register and support effective contingency planning, drawdown tracking, and mitigation follow-up.
* Act as the primary client-facing representative for project controls updates, variance explanations, forecast changes, and recovery strategies.
* Coordinate with commercial, contracts, engineering, construction, procurement, and finance teams to ensure project controls information is complete and reliable.
* Support executive decision-making by providing clear project performance narratives, issue escalation, and practical control recommendations.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business Administration, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
* Minimum 15 years of dedicated project controls experience within construction, infrastructure, engineering, or major capital project environments.
* Proven track record on mega-projects valued at 1B or above, preferably within Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, or wider GCC region.
* At least 5 years of experience in a managerial, supervisory, or project controls leadership role.
* Strong technical knowledge of cost control, planning, scheduling, risk management, reporting, change control, and performance forecasting.
* Deep understanding of Earned Value Management methodology, cost engineering principles, baseline control, variance analysis, and estimate-at-completion reporting.
* Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6, Primavera Risk Analysis, MS Excel, and project controls reporting tools.
* Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams while maintaining high standards of data quality, schedule logic, cost traceability, and reporting discipline.
* Preferred certifications include Project Management Professional, Certified Cost Professional, or Planning and Scheduling Professional.
