GE Vernova is looking for an exceptional  Project Controller  to join our  Grid Solutions  team based in  Stafford .

GE Vernova - The Energy to Change the World

With over 130 years of experience and proven innovation, GE Vernova is leading a new era of energy. We are electrifying the world while working to decarbonize it. Our name reflects our mission. “GE” carries a legacy of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” signals Earth’s lush ecosystems, while “Nova” nods to a new era of lower-carbon energy we are helping to deliver.

Focused on the future, GE Vernova is accelerating the shift to reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. We help customers power economies and deliver electricity vital to health, safety, and quality of life.

Electrification

Our Electrification solutions modernize grids, enable renewable integration, and strengthen energy systems. From software to  power conversion  and storage, we help create smarter, more resilient energy networks.

Let’s Talk about the Role

The Project Controller will provide the insights and recommendations necessary to influence project execution and maximize value for both our customers and our business.

You will act as the guardian of project financial health, ensuring the right rigor is applied to cost management, scheduling, and risk processes. By partnering with project managers and budget holders, you will help keep large-scale, complex infrastructure projects on track, within budget, and aligned with our financial objectives.

How You Will Make a Difference

·  Maintaining  project budgets, ensuring they are accurately aligned with sales positions and reflect actual progress and market trends.
·  Validating  the accuracy of cost estimates, including labor, materials, and supplier invoices, to drive financial clarity.
·  Developing  mitigation and recovery plans in collaboration with functional leaders to address budget deviations.
·  Communicating  clear financial status, risks, and forecasts to stakeholders to support proactive decision-making.
·  Collaborating  with finance and planning teams to reconcile financial data and ensure cost and schedule alignment.
·  Improving  project performance by identifying root causes of cost movements and supporting the analysis of claims.

Skills for Success

You should be a detail-oriented cost control professional who enjoys influencing project outcomes in a technical environment, with:

·  The ability to manage and analyze complex project costs for large-scale infrastructure work.
·  The capability to communicate financial data clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
·  An understanding of risk management processes and how to build effective mitigation plans.
·  An expertise in financial reconciliation and cost-to-complete forecasting.
·  A keen interest in the operational and financial success of grid infrastructure projects.

A formal education in an engineering or finance-related subject is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements in project or cost control.

We have a hybrid working model which gives you flexibility to work from our offices and from home.
