Projects Controls Professional; Intermediate

Position: Projects Controls Professional (Intermediate)
This is not a project controls role where you wait for someone to hand you the numbers.
Mac Kay is looking for an intermediate Project Controls Professional who can build and maintain schedules, manage change, track cost and turn field information into reporting the Project Management team can actually act on.
You will support Mac Kay's Mine Operations, reporting directly into the Project Management team. The work is active, equipment-intensive and constantly moving. Quantities change. Scope changes. Conditions change. The schedule and the forecast need to keep up.
Your job is to make sure the project team always has an accurate, current picture of where the work stands, where it is heading and what it will cost to finish.
The Work  Mac Kay delivers complex civil, mining and infrastructure work across Western Canada, with operations developing in the United States.
Mine Operations runs on production, equipment and timing. Small slips in progress or cost add up quickly when no one is watching them closely.
You will be dealing with schedules, change orders, cost reports, forecasts, quantities and field documentation, and connecting all of it so the numbers tell the same story as what is happening on site.
You will work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, Site Supervisors, Estimating and Accounting.
This role needs someone who knows project controls well enough to run with it. You will be trusted to work independently, keep your own processes in order and bring issues forward without waiting to be asked.
What You’ll Own   Build and maintain the schedule.
Develop project schedules in Microsoft Project, set baselines and complete regular updates that reflect actual progress, logic changes and look-ahead requirements. The schedule should be a working tool for the site team, not a document that sits in a folder.
Manage change properly.
Track potential and approved changes from the moment they are identified. Build up the cost of each change, including labour, equipment, materials and subcontract, and analyze its schedule impact so the Project Management team can price, negotiate and document change with confidence.
Report cost clearly and accurately.
Prepare cost reports that compare actuals and commitments against the estimate, explain variances and produce a realistic forecast to complete and estimate at completion (EAC). The goal is not simply to report what was spent. It is to show where the job is heading early enough that something can be done about it.
Measure performance with earned value.
Calculate earned value and performance indices, including CPI, SPI and Productivity Index (PI), and use them to show the Project Management team how the work is truly performing against cost, schedule and productivity expectations.
Track trends before they become problems.
Monitor productivity, unit costs, quantities and schedule performance over time. Identify and properly log trends, flag emerging risks and help the team understand what is driving them.
Turn field documentation into progress reporting.
Review daily reports, timesheets, equipment logs, quantity records and other site documentation, then summarize them into accurate progress measurement and reporting for the Project Management team.
Bring structure and best practice.
Apply sound project controls practices consistently, including clear cost coding, disciplined change logs, reliable baselines and repeatable reporting, and help improve the tools and processes behind them.
This Is a Hands-On Project Controls Role
You will produce reporting that Project Managers and leadership rely on to make decisions.
But you also need to understand where those numbers come from.
There will be times when you need to reconcile quantities against a daily report,…
