Project Controls Coordinator III – Houston, TX (Hybrid)

We’re looking for a Project Controls Coordinator III who’s ready to make an impact. This hybrid role (in-office Monday, Tuesday & Thursday; remote Wednesday & Friday) offers the best of both worlds — collaboration and flexibility.

As a key member of the project controls team, you’ll help ensure “Total Control” across assigned projects — from cost forecasting and variance analysis to proactive field reporting and risk mitigation. You’ll also play a vital role in supporting contractors and project teams, driving efficiency and insight through strong analytical and communication skills.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee overall project costs, including forecasting, variance analysis, and reporting throughout the project lifecycle
• Provide in-depth analysis to identify risks and opportunities, supporting proactive decision-making
• Train and support contractors in EcoSys LEMs (Labor, Equipment, and Materials)
• Collaborate with Project Controls Advisors (PCAs) to set up, review, and attest LEMs
• Act as a Field Cost Analyst (FCA) on high-risk, high-complexity projects
• Prepare and present regular and ad hoc cost analysis, variance reports, and dashboards
• Support project managers with scope management, change control, and project financial health
• Generate workforce histograms, cost estimates, and monthly forecast summaries
• Track KPIs and partner with teams to drive continuous improvement

What You Bring:

• Diploma or degree in a related field, or equivalent construction/operational experience
• 3–7 years of relevant experience in cost and scheduling controls for multi-discipline projects
• Field experience and industrial construction exposure are highly desired
• Familiarity with Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning phases
• Strong proficiency in MS Excel (pivot tables, v-lookups) and MS Office Suite
• Experience with Oracle or SAP; Power BI and EcoSys are strong pluses
• Understanding of Earned Value Management techniques preferred
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• A collaborative, service-oriented mindset — and the drive to “run things to ground”

If you’re ready to bring structure, insight, and control to complex projects, this could be your next great move.
