Project Controls Director
UK – Nationally
£130-150,000 + package
If you’ve spent your career delivering project controls on programmes that actually matter — the kind that run into the billions and reshape the UK’s infrastructure — this one is worth 2 minutes of your time.
I’m working exclusively on a Project Controls Director appointment for a leading capital delivery organisation operating across some of the UK’s most significant programmes in defence, rail, aviation, infrastructure, and water.
What the role involves:
Full ownership of the project controls function across a major programme portfolio
Leading and developing a high-performing team of planners, cost managers, risk engineers and BI analysts
Board-level stakeholder management — translating performance data into decisions
The role may be in region but equally may require national travel — 2/3 days on site per week fl
What we’re looking for:
Director or Head-of-Function level track record on major capital programmes (£500m+)
Cross-sector credibility — defence, rail, infrastructure, water, aviation
EVM, change management, baseline governance — you know what good looks like
If you’re open to a confidential conversation, drop me a message or email chirag.shah@paceglobal.org
