You’d be the process authority for project set-up and control in SAP PS, working across engineering, finance, procurement and site teams.

The business needs an experienced project controls or project delivery authority who can embed disciplined project governance and reporting. This is someone people go to for the answer on how a project should be set up, approved and reported.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Monthly cost reviews, variance analysis, EAC forecasting and change control, flagging overruns early
  • Portfolio reporting for site, regional and executive leadership, from one reconciled source of truth
  • Capitalisation and close-out with Finance: capex vs opex, assets under construction and handover under IFRS
  • SAP PS process ownership, plus coaching project managers, engineers and cost controllers

Required Skills

  • 8+ years in project controls, cost engineering or project delivery, including a lead or senior role
  • Capital project experience in mining, resources, EPCM or heavy industry
  • Working SAP PS knowledge: project definitions, WBS, budgets and settlement
  • A proven governance record: stage gates, DoA and change control
  • Strong EAC, earned value and IFRS capitalisation fundamentals
