Brisbane, Queensland, Australia OnTalent Pty Ltd Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Are you ready to play a pivotal role in ensuring the financial and operational success of major energy projects?

CS Energy is seeking a Project Controller - a proactive and analytical professional who can translate complex project data into actionable insights that drive cost performance, schedule integrity, and strategic decision-making.

This is your opportunity to help shape the delivery of Queensland's future energy infrastructure by supporting projects that span traditional generation and emerging clean technologies.

About the Role

As Project Controller, you'll be responsible for guiding the financial and performance management of capital projects across CS Energy's portfolio.

Reporting to the Project Controls Manager, you'll ensure that cost control, forecasting, scheduling, and risk management processes are rigorous, transparent, and aligned with corporate and project objectives.

You'll collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, finance teams, and contractors to maintain visibility of budgets, commitments, progress, and risks to ensure the business has the insight it needs to make informed, confident decisions.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Developing and implementing cost control and project performance systems.
  • Managing project cost reporting, forecasting (ETC and EAC), and variance analysis.
  • Monitoring financial commitments, budgets, and accruals in SAP and other systems.
  • Supporting integrated project planning, risk management, and schedule performance reviews.
  • Preparing and analysing monthly cost and risk reports for senior leadership.
  • Facilitating risk review meetings and maintaining the project risk register.
  • Driving governance and process improvements across project controls and reporting frameworks.

This Brisbane-based position offers flexibility and opportunities to travel to CS Energy sites as required.

About You

You're a detail-oriented and results-driven project professional who brings structure, clarity, and insight to everything you do.

You thrive on collaboration, enjoy working with numbers and data, and have a strong understanding of how projects succeed - financially and operationally.

You'll bring:

  • A degree in Project Management, Business, Finance, Engineering or related discipline.
  • Proven experience in project controls, cost engineering, or project accounting.
  • Proficiency in large ERP systems (we use SAP) and integrated project management systems.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to interpret and present financial and scheduling information clearly.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach, able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced project environment.

Join Us
