Perth, Western Australia TSS Group Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Project Controls Lead

We are proud to be partnering with Stantec – Energy & Resources to deliver the study for a world-class gold project in Southeast Asia. Stantec are assembling a highly skilled team across Australia to deliver this challenging assignment for their international client.

Resourcing this study from Australia reflects Stantec's strategy to increase its focus on major projects, strengthening capability in the local resources sector while contributing to global delivery. As a flagship project, its successful outcome will provide strong visibility within Stantec and open doors to future opportunities, both in Australia and across their global network.

About the Project

This large-scale greenfield development is progressing through its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), with early works and execution phases to follow.

The project presents the complexities typical of major gold and copper developments in the region:

  • Challenging terrain and climate, where bulk earthworks and drainage require careful planning
  • Remote location, with logistics and infrastructure central to delivery success
  • Large, diverse work packages, spanning civil, mechanical, electrical, and NPI scope
  • Tight schedule and critical path, requiring robust planning and controls to de-risk long-lead procurement and early works

About the Role

The Project Controls Lead will:

  • Look after cost, schedule, and estimation across both the study and execution phases
  • Drive monthly and ad-hoc reporting on project progress, cost forecasts, and schedule performance
  • Develop and maintain integrated controls frameworks aligned with Class 3 study deliverables
  • Work closely with engineering and project delivery teams, extracting the truth out of the engineering team to ensure accurate reporting
  • Provide leadership on project controls strategy and readiness for execution

This is a pivotal role requiring someone who can bring both technical depth and authority to hold teams accountable for accurate inputs and defensible outputs.

About You

We are seeking a senior project controls professional with:

  • Major project experience in the metals processing or broader resources sector
  • Demonstrated leadership in cost, schedule, and estimation across both study and execution phases
  • Proven ability to produce clear, accurate reporting for project leadership
  • Strong Primavera P6 and cost system knowledge
  • Resilience and credibility to drive accountability across multi-discipline engineering teams
  • Not suited to shutdowns, sustaining capital, or cost-accountant profiles

Roster & Conditions

  • Monday to Friday, based in Perth
  • Hybrid work options – up to 1 day WFH per week for lead roles
  • Hours: 40 per week plus approved overtime
