Overview
A leading multinational organisation is hiring a Project Controller to strengthen project financial control and reporting across major programmes in Dubai.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong project controls / cost engineering / quantity surveying background who can manage cost, cash flow, forecasting, and commercial reporting in complex, delivery-led environments.
Key responsibilities
- Own project cost control across the full lifecycle: budgets, commitments, actuals, and cost-to-complete
- Prepare and maintain revenue forecasts, cash flow forecasts, and monthly cost reports
- Lead progress measurement and performance reporting, including earned value where applicable
- Support project planning and schedule integration (Primavera P6 / similar), including baseline and re-baseline activities
- Manage monthly progress payment applications/invoices and support client-facing commercial reporting
- Track variations/claims/change orders: build-up of rates, VO submissions, negotiation support, and documentation control
- Monitor subcontractor commitments, payment approvals, and commercial compliance
- Produce weekly/monthly dashboards for project leadership highlighting risks, trends, and corrective actions
- Support tendering/bid inputs where required (estimates, take-offs, pricing support)
- Desired profile
- Strong experience in project controls, cost engineering, or quantity surveying on large-scale projects
- Proven capability producing cost-to-complete, cash flow, and forecast reporting with high accuracy
- Strong understanding of contract/commercial processes: variations, claims, progress payments, and change control
- Confident working with planning teams and schedules (Primavera P6 exposure preferred)
- Strong analytical skills and ability to communicate financial/project performance clearly to senior stakeholders
- Advanced Excel skills; comfortable working with ERP/project controls systems
- Experience in construction, marine/civil, infrastructure, or industrial projects is highly preferred
- Dubai-based or open to relocation to Dubai
Skills
The ideal candidate is a detail-driven project controls professional who can quickly build a clear financial picture of a project and keep it accurate as the job evolves.
They are confident producing cost reports, cash flow forecasts, and cost-to-complete projections, and they understand how to track commitments, actuals, and progress in a way that project leadership can trust.
They bring strong commercial awareness, including how variations, change orders, progress payments, and subcontractor costs impact overall profitability and delivery risk.
They are comfortable working alongside planning teams and using schedules to validate progress and forecast outcomes, with exposure to tools like Primavera P6 considered a strong advantage.
They have strong Excel and reporting skills, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and maintain disciplined documentation and governance so that decisions are evidence-based.
They thrive in fast-moving, high-accountability environments, spot issues early, and translate data into practical actions that protect time, cost, and margin.
