Your role

  • Support the Senior Manager in the development, control and management of capital investment plans for a major complex infrastructure programme.
  • Lead the day-to-day cost management of pre-development funding, ensuring robust cost planning, tracking, forecasting and reporting across the programme lifecycle.
  • Establish and maintain cost control processes, baselines, cost breakdown structures and reporting outputs to support effective governance and decision-making.
  • Monitor commitments, actuals, accruals, forecasts and anticipated final cost, providing clear insight into current and projected cost performance.
  • Work closely with programme, commercial, finance, planning, risk and change teams to ensure cost information is aligned, accurate and forms part of an integrated project controls approach.
  • Support stage-gate, investment and funding approvals by preparing reliable cost data, variance analysis, cashflow forecasts and evidence-based recommendations.
  • Identify cost trends, risks, change impacts and funding pressures early, supporting the development of mitigation actions and maintaining confidence in the programme's cost position.


About you

  • Demonstrable experience in cost management, cost control or project controls on high-value, complex infrastructure programmes, ideally within regulated or operationally complex sectors such as aviation, industrial, pharmaceutical, defence, utilities or transport.
  • Strong understanding of capital investment planning, pre-development funding, cost forecasting, cost reporting, cashflow profiling, commitments, accruals and anticipated final cost.
  • Experience developing and maintaining cost baselines, cost breakdown structures, control accounts and cost reports that support programme governance and senior-level decision-making.
  • Ability to analyse cost performance, identify variances and trends, and translate complex cost data into clear, actionable insight for client and programme stakeholders.
  • Good working knowledge of integrated project controls, including the relationship between cost, schedule, risk, change, contingency and performance reporting.
  • Experience supporting investment approvals, business cases, stage-gate reviews or funding submissions within a structured governance environment.
  • Relevant professional qualification or equivalent experience, such as APM, ACostE, RICS, CEng, Project Controls, Quantity Surveying or Cost Management background.
