What You'll Do The Lead Project Controller serves as a senior technical resource within the Project Controls function, promoting the consistent application of project controls practices and providing guidance on complex or non-routine matters. The position supports Project Controllers in cost control, forecasting, earned value, cash flow, scheduling, risk and change management, and reporting. The role does not include direct supervisory or people-management responsibilities.





To maintain sufficient capacity for technical leadership, complex project support, and participation in major estimates, the Lead Project Controller will typically carry a reduced portfolio equivalent to 30-50% of a standard Project Controller workload. This will generally include up to two Project Manager assignments and may be reduced further as technical support or estimating demands increase. Where practical, a limited portfolio will be retained to maintain a direct connection to project execution.

As Rising Edge continues to expand, the Lead Project Controller will contribute to the development of practical, scalable Project Controls standards, tools, and processes. The successful candidate will be motivated by the opportunity to help shape a growing function and will be comfortable working in an workplace where established processes continue to evolve. The role requires sound judgment and initiative to develop solutions that can support the organization as it scales.
