Senior Cost Controller - Construction Projects

We're working with a large Australian corporate delivering capital programs — and they need someone who can own the numbers end to end.

The Role

Reporting into the Major Projects leadership team, you'll take ownership of cost control across a complex portfolio of capital works. This isn't a reporting role — you'll be embedded with project teams, providing real commercial insight and driving accountability across the business.

What You'll Do
  • Lead cost planning, forecasting and control across major infrastructure projects
  • Deliver accurate financial reporting and variance analysis to senior stakeholders
  • Partner with project managers to maintain budgets and flag risks early
  • Drive cost performance culture across project teams
  • Utilise project management and financial systems to maintain data integrity
  • Support commercial decision-making with clear, timely financial insight
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience in cost control on major capital or infrastructure projects
  • Strong background in cost planning, budget management and financial reporting
  • Degree qualified in Finance, Accounting or Engineering 
  • Commercially sharp with excellent stakeholder management skills
  • High attention to detail with the ability to cut through complexity and communicate clearly
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
What's on Offer
  • Circa $200,000 package + performance bonus
  • CBD location with genuine flexibility
  • Long-term career opportunity in a high-growth division
  • Work on some of Australia's most significant infrastructure programs
  • Collaborative, high-performing team culture
