Project controls reporting analyst

Project Controls Reporting Analyst

💰 £50,000 – £70,000

📍 Any UK main city (Hybrid with more remote %)

🎓 Maths degree preferred


My client is hiring a Project Controls Reporting Analyst to work across some of the UK's most complex infrastructure programmes — nuclear, rail, defence, aviation.


This isn't a dashboard-builder role.

You'll own the analytical integrity behind cost intelligence that senior stakeholders, programme teams, and independent assurance bodies actually rely on.


Not just how to build a dashboard — but what the numbers mean, where the uncertainty lives, and why the model's conclusions might be wrong?


What you'll be doing:

→ Analysing large, complex cost datasets — variability, uncertainty, distributions, outliers

→ Producing cost intelligence outputs that hold up under scrutiny

→ Building benchmarks, models, and analytical frameworks across major programmes

→ Presenting complex analysis clearly to senior, non-technical audiences

→ Defending your conclusions under challenge — and doing it with confidence

→ Driving automation and tooling to improve consistency


What we're looking for:

→ Strong data analysis — you understand variability, distributions, and confidence

→ Advanced Excel and Power BI · SQL a bonus · Python desirable

→ Experience in cost, commercial, or capital project environments

→ Intellectually rigorous — you push back on weak inference, not just accept it

→ Clear communicator who can turn numbers into decisions


You can be based anywhere in the UK and ideally will have project delivery experience.
