Take Your Project Controls Career to the Next Level
Work on the UK’s Most Iconic Infrastructure Programmes
Are you a seasoned project controls professional looking for a new challenge, whether that’s more responsibility, greater complexity, or a bigger programme to manage?
At Infraspec, we specialise in helping experienced professionals accelerate their careers. Thanks to our trusted relationships with senior decision-makers across the UK’s leading infrastructure clients, we connect you directly to high-impact opportunities, often before they’re advertised.
Whether your background is in rail, defence, energy, or utilities, we place skilled professionals on the UK’s most ambitious projects, and support them every step of the way.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Project Controls Engineer, you’ll support the planning, cost, risk, and performance control of complex capital delivery programmes. Working closely with programme managers, planners, commercial teams and delivery stakeholders, you’ll help ensure projects stay on track — and add value when they don’t.
This is a role for someone who’s technically strong, detail-oriented, and ready to make a real impact on large-scale infrastructure projects.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Building and maintaining integrated project schedules using Primavera P6 or similar tools
* Supporting cost control, forecasting, and earned value management (EVM)
* Analysing performance data to support informed, data-driven decisions
* Driving change control, variance tracking, and risk analysis processes
* Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on major infrastructure projects
* Preparing clear, actionable reports and dashboards for internal and client stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for capable, motivated individuals who are ready to take on more complex challenges and make a real difference on high-value programmes.
You’ll ideally bring:
* 4+ years’ experience in project controls or similar roles
* Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6, MS Project, and Excel-based tools
* Experience working on major infrastructure projects (rail, defence, utilities, etc.)
* Understanding of project planning, cost control, risk, and performance reporting
* Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and delivery partners
* A proactive approach and a genuine drive to learn and grow
Why Infraspec?
We’re more than recruiters, we’re career partners.
* We work directly with senior hiring managers at major infrastructure firms
* We fast-track talented professionals into roles that match their ambitions
* We offer honest, strategic career advice based on deep sector expertise
* We give you early access to roles before they hit the open market
Whether you’re looking for a more complex programme, a more supportive team, or a chance to step up, we’re here to help you move forward, faster.
