Mott MacDonald is a dynamic and innovative engineering, management and development consultancy working with high profile clients across Australia and globally. We're the driving force behind some of Australia's most iconic infrastructural ventures that are transforming the way we live, work, and play. Following robust growth in the WA market and with a strong pipeline of current projects and upcoming opportunities, we are looking to continue the growth of our projects and commercial team.

At Mott MacDonald, every project is an opportunity to improve lives. As a Principal Project Controller, you will play a vital role in delivering purpose-driven PMO and Controls services across transformative infrastructure and built environment programmes, both locally and globally.


The Opportunity
Our Project Strategy & Delivery team in Perth is looking for an experienced Principal Project Controller to support the delivery of our committed work, and growing pipeline of prospects for government and institutional clients.

The role will focus on supporting Mott MacDonald and partner teams on design and construction delivery in our fastest growing sectors of Aviation, Defence, Resources, and Energy. The role may also extend to the buildings and transportation sectors. You will be joining a diverse national team of project delivery consultants who work alongside our design teams. They are passionate about what they do, with a proven track record guiding our clients, and leading delivery of our most critical projects.

You’ll make this role a success if you thrive in a collaborative, inclusive, and values-led environment. You will bring analytical excellence, strategic foresight, and a passion for making a meaningful impact.

You will be pivotal in both the successful delivery of our commitments on time and on budget but also in advising clients in establishing their own project controls functions.


Your responsibilities will include:

Scoping and establishing fit for purpose project controls processes and frameworks to support on time and on budget commercial outcomes of our services engagements
Mentoring and developing project controls skills within and beyond your team
Performing complex project controls analysis and reporting on our high-profile engagements in collaboration with the project management and technical teams
Optimising processes by utilising and expanding digital tools (including in-house and vendor supported solutions) and interfacing with our international colleagues
Collaborating with our Program Management team to help clients develop and deliver their programs on time and on budget
