Project Controller

• Review, monitor and maintain the comprehensive Project Schedule in Primavera P6, ensuring it incorporates all project activities, associated costs and a properly developed Critical Path Method (CPM) network.

• Verify that the schedule is submitted within 15 days of the Commencement Date and that all schedule deliverables comply with the Owner’s schedule requirements, coding structure and cost/resource loading conventions.

• Control schedule revisions and re-baselines, ensuring each is justified, documented and approved before adoption.

• Perform weekly and monthly progress updates, critical and near-critical path analysis, and float erosion monitoring.

• Communicate any changes to the schedule — including delays and re-sequencing of activities — to the Owner in a timely manner, with clear identification of impacts on key dates and milestones.

• Prepare time impact analyses and supporting schedule narratives for Extension of Time (EOT) claims and recovery / acceleration plans.

• Establish and maintain clear payment milestones, setting out the terms, conditions and schedule for each milestone payment, and reconcile these against the P6 schedule.

• Submit monthly updates on milestone progress to enable accurate tracking, certification and approval of payments.

• Maintain a detailed register of all claims and variations, assessing cost and time impacts of each.

• Evaluate all scope changes and additional works for cost implications, and ensure they are reviewed and approved in collaboration with the Contracts Team for proper documentation and contract compliance.

• Maintain the project cost report: budget, committed cost, actual cost, accruals, forecast cost to complete and estimate at completion, with monthly variance explanations.

• Prepare and compile monthly progress claims — including measured progress, milestone substantiation, variation and claim inclusions, retention and back-charge deductions — and submit them for Owner certification within the contractual timeframes.

• Track claim certification and payment status, and reconcile certified amounts against claimed amounts, escalating shortfalls and disputed items.

• Support cash flow forecasting, retention tracking and cost-value reconciliation.

• Maintain a centralized Risk Register and update it regularly, capturing each risk with a defined probability and impact assessment.

• Ensure every identified risk has a clearly assigned risk treatment owner, a defined risk action, and a target timeline date, with quantification of the potential impact type where applicable.

• Escalate Medium to Extreme risks through structured monthly risk review meetings, and ensure mitigation measures are implemented, monitored and tracked through to closure.

• Maintain the linkage between the risk register, the schedule contingency and the cost contingency.

• Implement and operate an Owner-approved Progress Measurement System, including agreed physical progress calculation methodologies, rules of credit and weightings across engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning.

• Produce and monitor key performance indicators and trends, including Schedule Performance Index (SPI), milestone adherence and near-critical activity monitoring, to identify early warning signs and trigger corrective actions.

• Verify Contractor-reported progress against physical works at site, and challenge over-claimed progress with documented evidence.

• Prepare and submit all reports using Owner-approved templates, in strict compliance with agreed data cut-off dates, to ensure consistency, accuracy, comparability and governance alignment.

• Produce daily, weekly and monthly project control reports covering progress, schedule status, cost status, risks, issues, manpower, and look-ahead plans.

• Prepare special reports on project performance, corrective actions or critical changes as needed or upon request.

• Prepare materials for Kick-Off Meetings, monthly progress meetings and Owner / lender reviews.

• Act as the site-level custodian of Document Control — owning the site document control function, including the master document register, transmittals, drawing and revision control, incoming/outgoing correspondence logging, and archiving of records for claim and audit purposes.

• Act as custodian of project controls procedures and data integrity, ensuring a single source of truth for schedule, cost, progress and risk data at site.

• Interface with the Owner’s project controls representatives, subcontractors, suppliers and the OEM / integrator on schedule, progress and reporting matters.

• Support the Project Manager in contractual correspondence relating to delay, disruption, notices and claims.
