Full job description

Our client is seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Controls Manager to support a large-scale, multi-billion-dollar mining capital project in British Columbia. This is a senior leadership role within the broader Project Services function, with responsibility for project controls strategy, governance, reporting, contractor oversight, systems integration, and team development.

The successful candidate will act as a trusted advisor to senior project leadership, supporting critical decision-making across cost, schedule, change management, forecasting, performance reporting, and commercial risk. This role requires a seasoned project controls leader who can bring structure, discipline, and executive-level insight to a complex, fast-moving project environment.

This position will suit someone with deep experience in owner-side project controls, major capital projects, mining or heavy industrial construction, and multi-stakeholder project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Project Controls Leadership

Lead the development and implementation of project controls strategies, standards, processes, and governance frameworks across a major mining capital project.
Provide senior leadership across cost control, estimating, planning, scheduling, forecasting, change management, progress measurement, and reporting.
Act as a strategic advisor to project leadership, providing insight into project performance, risks, trends, opportunities, and corrective actions.
Support major project decisions through accurate data, scenario analysis, forecasting, and performance interpretation.
Drive consistency, discipline, and accountability in how project controls practices are applied across the project.

Reporting, Governance, and Performance Management

Oversee senior leadership reporting, ensuring project information is accurate, timely, integrated, and decision focused.
Lead analysis of cost, schedule, productivity, change, risk, earned value, and overall project performance.
Identify performance gaps and advise on recovery plans, mitigation strategies, and corrective actions.
Establish and maintain project controls governance practices that support transparency, consistency, and effective execution.
Lead audits, reviews, and assurance activities related to project controls performance, data integrity, and contractor compliance.

Contractor and Commercial Oversight

Assess contractor and consultant project controls capabilities, systems, reporting quality, and execution readiness.
Support RFP strategy, evaluation criteria, and contractor selection processes related to project controls scope.
Provide oversight across contractor reporting, change submissions, schedule performance, cost reporting, claims evaluation, and commercial risk.
Work closely with contracts, procurement, construction, and project leadership to align commercial and project controls strategies.
Influence contractors and consultants to adopt consistent project controls standards and best practices.

Systems, Data, and Continuous Improvement

Champion the effective use of project controls systems, digital tools, dashboards, analytics platforms, and reporting automation.
Support system optimization and data governance, with a focus on accuracy, usability, and decision support.
Lead continuous improvement of workflows, reporting processes, project controls tools, and data integration.
Ensure project controls systems are used consistently and effectively across internal and external stakeholders.

Team Leadership

Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing project controls team supporting a complex capital project.
Build team capability through coaching, training, succession planning, and performance management.
Provide guidance to internal project teams, consultants, and contractors on project controls expectations and best practices.
Foster a collaborative, accountable, and safety-focused project culture.
Build strong working relationships across project leadership, construction, engineering, procurement, contracts, risk, and quality.

Qualifications and Experience

Degree or diploma in engineering, accounting, finance, business, construction management, or a related discipline is required.
A trade background combined with significant major project controls leadership experience may also be considered.
20+ years of progressive project controls experience, ideally within mining, industrial, infrastructure, energy, or heavy construction environments.
10+ years of experience in senior leadership roles, including oversight of large, complex, multi-disciplinary capital projects.
Significant owner-side project experience is strongly preferred.
Strong understanding of major project delivery models, commercial frameworks, construction execution, contract strategy, and contractor management.
Demonstrated experience leading project controls teams across cost, schedule, estimating, change management, forecasting, and reporting.
Experience working in complex, multi-stakeholder project environments involving owners, EPCMs, contractors, consultants, and senior leadership.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex project information clearly to executive audiences.
Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical, and decision-support capabilities.
Proven ability to lead, coach, influence, and develop high-performing teams.
Experience with project controls platforms such as Unifier, Cleopatra, or similar systems is considered an asset.
Experience with scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar platforms is considered an asset.
Experience supporting digital transformation, reporting automation, or project controls system optimization would be beneficial.
