Project Controls Technician Level 3

ST0163

A Project Controls Technician controls, monitors and systematically analyses progress and performance data on engineering, manufacturing, construction and infrastructure projects.

They require strong analytical skills and a practical approach to interpret technical information. They use specific and complex software tools to undertake a wide range of project control tasks, including: identifying the right data for scrutinising progress; setting baseline targets; tracking progress and performance; forecasting trends; identifying, modelling and anticipating deviations from baseline; assessing the impact of design or construction changes; and using insight to recommend early preventative and remedial actions.

With additional training the Project Controls Technician could also progress to more specialist roles in areas such as project controls, planning, scheduling, estimating, cost control, risk and quality and ultimately a role as project controls manager or director.
