You will also support business reporting packs, external audits, technical due diligence and senior project decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Present project controls updates to Board, equity partners, lenders and technical experts, and respond to detailed questions on cost, schedule and performance
- Lead project controls across cost, schedule, forecasting, progress measurement, reporting and risk
- Provide oversight of EPCM cost control, estimating, planning and progress reporting
- Establish and maintain integrated schedule and cost control, cashflow forecasting and earned value systems

- Help build project controls capability across the owner's team for longer-term continuity
You will be a seasoned project controls leader with strong experience across major resources, industrial or capital project environments. You will bring the technical depth to manage complex cost and schedule performance, together with the executive presence to engage credibly with senior internal and external stakeholders.
We are particularly interested in candidates with:
- Degree qualifications in Engineering, Finance or Project Management

- Strong capability in cost engineering, planning, earned value management and risk analysis

- The confidence and judgement to operate effectively in a complex, greenfield, high-accountability environment
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This project is helping deliver Australia's first integrated rare earths processing facility, creating a rare opportunity to step into a role with genuine strategic relevance, executive visibility and long-term significance. It is the kind of appointment that will appeal to someone who wants to influence not only project performance, but how that performance is governed, reported and defended at owner, investor and lender level.
- Executive remuneration plus fixed equity
- High-profile owner's team role on a nationally significant project
- Direct exposure to Board, lenders, equity partners and senior technical stakeholders
- Flexible location options with Perth, Brisbane or remote base and regular site presence
- Opportunity to contribute to a first-of-kind processing development with global strategic relevance
- Work on a project supporting supply chain resilience and the energy transition
- Strong visibility, influence and career-defining scope within a major project environment
