Senior Project Controller

Making the Netherlands a little more beautiful every day by using your expertise in project control to bring integral projects and programs to a successful conclusion.

As a project controller, you will mostly work in the role of Project Control Manager (MPB-er) on integral projects and programs initiated by our clients. Within the projects, you will provide substantive direction to the project control specialists in the areas of risk, planning, quality, and scope management, systems engineering, and cost expertise. Additionally, you will sometimes lead a risk session yourself or draw up a schedule. You will prepare reliable progress reports, present the necessary steering information to the project/program team in a timely manner, and provide requested and unsolicited advice based on your expertise, so that important decisions can be made in a well-considered manner.

Project control has a great diversity of clients, such as government organizations (RWS, Water Boards, provinces, and municipalities), contractors, project developers, and energy suppliers. This makes the types of projects very diverse; think of infrastructural projects (e.g., structures, construction of public transport lines and roads) and logistical project developments, where particular attention is paid to projects that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with themes such as: energy transition, climate adaptation (greening, sustainability), and sustainable collaborations.

Cool projects we are working on include: Project control for Rijkswaterstaat barriers, Renewed Regional Tram Line Utrecht (VRT), KRW GROW (Green Rivers Open Wonders) and Integral master plan for climate-adaptive neighborhood.

The experience and expertise you bring is also very important internally. The Project Control team is growing, both in size and in knowledge level. As an experienced Project Control consultant, you will actively contribute ideas regarding the growth of the team and guide colleagues through brainstorming, coaching, and knowledge transfer.

• Working in a dynamic environment, where you work on multiple projects simultaneously for different clients;

• Being involved in all phases of a process/project, from project preparation and tendering to execution;

• Being at the helm and having a coordinating role, and thereby providing great added value to bring integral projects to a successful conclusion;

• Sharing your vision and knowledge to help the team and colleagues grow;

• Having freedom and flexibility in your work and developing yourself.

In your projects, you work closely with the client. You understand which goals and milestones they want to achieve and ensure that they can reach them. In doing so, a well-functioning project and program team is, of course, very important. You must be able to switch easily between clients, project partners, and project members, as well as the various levels of abstraction involved.

Additionally, you work closely with your colleagues from your own Project Control advisory group and, as mentioned before, contribute ideas regarding the growth of the team and actively guide colleagues through brainstorming, coaching, and knowledge transfer. Internal collaboration does not stop at the boundaries of the advisory group. You mostly work in integral projects, which means you will work with colleagues from across the entire organization.

• HBO or academic level;

• At least 5 years of experience within the disciplines of project control, during which you have also fulfilled the overarching role of MPB-er;

• Knowledge of the programs RISMAN and Primavera or MS Projects. Experience with Relatics is an advantage!
