Project Controls Manager / Senior Project Controls Manager
Houston, TX | Regional Leadership Role | General Contractor

We are working with a well-established national general contractor on a Project Controls Manager / Senior Project Controls Manager position based in Houston.

This is a key regional role supporting a major construction business unit, reporting into the Director of Project Controls. The person coming in will act as the Project Controls lead for the region, helping project teams improve visibility around cost, forecasting, systems, change management, risk, financial performance, and overall project delivery.

This is not a traditional project controls role focused only on reporting. The company is looking for someone who understands construction operations, can speak the language of project teams, and can help drive process, accountability, and consistency across the region.

The Company

The business is a long-established, national general contractor with a strong reputation across aviation, mission-critical, healthcare, government, education, sports, laboratory, transportation, and large-scale commercial construction.

They offer the stability, benefits, and project exposure of a major national contractor, while maintaining a family-owned culture where people are developed, supported, and retained long-term.

The Role
The Project Controls Manager / Senior Project Controls Manager will support projects across the region and may also sit directly on a major project when required.

The immediate focus will include supporting the regional business unit across major aviation and complex commercial construction projects, with further large-scale work already coming through the pipeline.

The role will involve:

Leading project controls practices across the region
Supporting project teams with cost, forecasting, reporting, change management, and project performance
Driving consistency around project controls standards, systems, and processes
Training operations teams and helping drive adoption of company systems
Partnering with Project Directors, Operations Managers, Project Managers, Superintendents, and executive leadership
Supporting GMP strategy, job cost budgets, financial reviews, and project execution planning
Monitoring KPIs and taking action to improve project performance
Leading regional Project Performance Reviews
Supporting standards around value management, change management, purchasing, subcontractor prequalification, awards, and recommendations
Helping project teams improve forecasting accuracy and commercial visibility
Supporting the rollout and improvement of project controls systems and software

This could suit someone from a Project Controls Manager, Senior Project Controls Manager, or Project Manager background who has worked closely with operations on large-scale, complex construction projects.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a chance to step into a regional leadership role with a well-established national contractor that is continuing to invest in project controls.

You will have direct visibility with senior project controls leadership and regional operations leadership, while supporting major projects across Houston and the wider Texas market.

The company is also continuing to grow its project controls function across multiple regions, so this role offers long-term progression and the opportunity to help shape how project controls supports operations across the business.
