About the Organisation

This is an exciting opportunity to become a key player in a major infrastructure initiative led by a prominent NSW Government department. As Project Controls Lead, you will be at the heart of this transformative program.

The organisation is driving one of the most forward-thinking energy projects in the country, aimed at delivering long-term sustainability, resilience, and innovation across the sector. This high-profile initiative is not only critical to the state's infrastructure development but also central to Australia's clean energy transition.

This is a rare chance to contribute to a legacy project with real, measurable impact on communities, industry, and the environment. You'll be part of a dynamic, purpose-driven team committed to innovation, collaboration, and delivering results that matter.

The Role

As the Project Controls Lead, you will oversee a multidisciplinary team responsible for the full suite of project controls functions-schedule, cost, risk, contract, estimating, document control, and assurance.

  • Lead the development and implementation of project controls frameworks, systems, and processes
  • Manage project schedule, cost forecasting, risk registers, and contract performance
  • Oversee governance, assurance, and reporting cycles to support executive decision-making
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure compliance and alignment
  • Provide strategic advice and insights to project leadership on emerging risks and performance
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of 7-10 specialists across project controls disciplines
  • Promote capability uplift and continuous improvement across all project workstreams
  • Ensure effective communication and coordination across the organisation and external partners

About You

You're a seasoned project controls professional with a passion for infrastructure and a track record of delivering results in complex environments. You bring strategic thinking, technical depth, and strong leadership to every challenge.

  • Tertiary qualifications in engineering, project management, or a related discipline
  • Between 8 - 10+ years' experience in project controls leadership on infrastructure projects
  • Proven ability to lead integrated, multidisciplinary teams and manage diverse stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of public sector governance, regulatory frameworks, and reporting standards
  • Expertise in cost estimation, scheduling, risk management, and contract oversight
  • Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills
