Project Control Manager

A U.S. focused gold developer is seeking a Project Controls Manager to support a large-scale open pit oxide gold project advancing through feasibility, permitting, detailed engineering, construction readiness, and toward future mining operations.

The position can be performed remotely for the foreseeable future, with periodic travel to the project site as required.

This is a senior owner's team position requiring a highly organised project controls professional capable of building the systems, processes, reporting frameworks, and governance required to successfully deliver a major mining project from development into execution.

The successful individual will play a key role in developing and managing project controls, scheduling, cost control, forecasting, reporting, document control, change management, and risk management systems as the project progresses toward construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement project controls systems covering cost control, scheduling, forecasting, reporting, change management, risk tracking, and document control

• Maintain and manage the integrated project schedule across engineering, permitting, procurement, construction readiness, commissioning, and operational planning activities

• Ability to build practical, scalable project controls systems within a lean project development environment

• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills

• Experience supporting feasibility studies, detailed engineering, construction readiness, commissioning, or project execution activities highly regarded

• Mining project experience, particularly within North American operations, would be advantageous
