Program Controller in Brighton

Job description

Programme Controller / Programme Analyst / Programme Cost Controller with an excellent understanding of financial reporting on capital projects required by a well-known, long-established company based in Sussex, who provide a vital service across critical national infrastructure. This Programme Controller / Programme Analyst / Programme Cost Controller role will see you working across strategic programmes which focus on large capital infrastructure investments, and you’d be involved in financial projections and working with that data.

We’d like to see candidates from national infrastructure backgrounds such as construction, energy, rail, highways, utilities, oil & gas, mining etc, as it’s important to understand how programme financials work in these types of settings. You’ll need to be working on project values in excess of £200m, not just following due process but thinking outside the box.

In this role you will be involved in programme values between £400m and £2bn so prior exposure managing these sorts of budgets is essential. Any additional understanding of utilities or national infrastructure regulation and compliance would be a bonus. As you’ll be supporting the strategic leadership team with financial data, you’ll need strong knowledge of excel, and Oracle’s Primavera P6 platform would be a nice-to-have.

Programme Controller / Programme Analyst / Programme Cost Controller requirements:

• Career experience as a Programme Controller / Programme Analyst / Programme Cost Controller or similar role supporting the delivery of infrastructure / capital projects
• Strong ability to understand financial data and draw conclusions on project overspending and general forecasting
• Sector experience - infrastructure backgrounds such as construction, energy, rail, highways, utilities, oil & gas, mining etc are preferred
• Financial reporting: Excellent grasp of Excel and working with data, with Oracle’s Primavera P6 platform a bonus
• Adept in working on large-budget asset management / capital investment programmes (£400m - £2bn) across national infrastructure
• PMI, APM, MRICS or similar qualifications / background would be good to see, as would any finance-based degrees or perhaps an MSc in project management – but career experience is equally important

This Programme Controller / Programme Analyst / Programme Cost Controller offers a competitive salary of £60,000 to £75,000 plus bonus plus excellent benefits. You’ll sit in a growing team with supportive and present management and there is plenty of scope to grow and develop. The position is hybrid but flexible, requiring ~2 days in the Brighton office, however there is also flexibility on working locations across other offices in Sussex and Kent.
