An excellent opportunity awaits a project controls professional from a strong cost control background looking to take senior ownership across complex, high-profile defence programmes within a forward-thinking consultancy offering real influence and progression.

This company is a specialist digital and project controls consultancy operating across major infrastructure and secure defence environments, embedding into complex programmes to strengthen planning, cost, risk, governance and performance assurance.

In this role you'll be embedded within a large-scale defence programme environment, acting as the central point across planning, cost, risk and change. You'll ensure controls are fully integrated, performance reporting is accurate, and governance standards are maintained. You'll align schedule, cost and risk into one clear picture, support senior stakeholders with reliable performance insight, and operate confidently within a structured, security-sensitive setting. The working pattern is hybrid, typically 3 days on-site in Nottingham and two days remote.

The ideal candidate will have significant project controls leadership experience within defence or similarly regulated sectors. You'll be confident integrating schedule, cost, risk and change, comfortable with EVM and forecasting, and experienced operating within formal governance and assurance frameworks. Strong capability across tools such as Primavera P6, MSP and reporting platforms is important. The right person must be eligible for UK security clearance and meet nationality requirements due to programme sensitivity.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior project controls professional who wants to own the full controls picture within high-profile defence work, influence programme-level decision-making, and progress into broader leadership as the consultancy expands.

The Role:
 *Lead and integrate all project controls disciplines across the programme
 *Align schedule, cost, risk and change into a coherent controls framework
 *Oversee EVM, forecasting and performance reporting
 *Maintain governance standards and data integrity
 *Hybrid split - 3 days on-site in Nottingham, 2 days remote

The Person:
 *Significant project controls experience on complex programmes (ideally Defence)
 *Background within defence or highly regulated sectors
 *Strong integrated controls knowledge (schedule, cost, risk, change)
 *Comfortable briefing and influencing senior stakeholders
 *Must be eligible for UK security clearance (British National)
