  4. Trend & Risk Integration: Work alongside Risk Leads and Project Controls Managers to connect cost data with schedule, risk, and change management, ensuring high-quality risk information informs baseline estimates.
  5. Reporting & Dashboards: Manage and verify data outputs within Power BI dashboards and ensure high-quality cost reporting across defined cycles.
  6. Governance & Information Security: Support good governance, process enhancement, and strict compliance with protective marking for Sensitive Nuclear Information.

Qualifications & Experience Required:

  • Education: Minimum HND (or equivalent qualification/degree) in Project Management, Project Controls, Engineering, or a related field. Cost & Forecasting specific qualifications are preferred.
  • Experience: Minimum 10 years of senior-level experience in a Cost and Forecasting role within a complex, highly regulated industry (energy, nuclear, major infrastructure).

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
