Project Controls Engineer

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Programme Management, this is an exciting opportunity to join a growing function at the heart of North Star's strategic investment programme. You'll provide the planning, forecasting, reporting and performance insight that enables successful delivery of vessel construction, dry dock and capital projects.

Through robust project controls, governance and performance management, you'll provide the visibility and insight needed to support effective decision-making at every stage of the project lifecycle.
