How will you make your impact?

This job posting is for an existing vacancy and is a new position at Linxon. 

As a Project Controller with Linxon, you will drive financial excellence and predictable project execution by continuously measuring, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting project costs, cash flow, and revenue throughout the project lifecycle. Supporting Linxon’s Substation EPC portfolio—including utilities, battery storage, rail, and data centers—you will provide rigorous financial oversight, identify risks and opportunities early, and enable data‑driven decision‑making that protects margins and strengthens delivery confidence.

Working in close partnership with Project Management and cross‑functional stakeholders, you will develop detailed cost structures, maintain accurate and IFRS‑aligned financial records, and translate complex project data into actionable insight. Through disciplined forecasting, transparent reporting, and strong commercial awareness, you will directly support recovery strategies, improve execution consistency, and contribute to Linxon’s growth and credibility across the North American market.

What will you do?

Who you are?

• You will drive predictable project outcomes by controlling, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting project cost, cash flow, revenue, progress, and risk from execution through close‑out.

• You will improve cost and schedule performance by identifying variances early, assessing long‑term impacts, and supporting timely, effective recovery actions.

• You will strengthen margin and forecast confidence by identifying financial and performance trends and proactively communicating their implications to project and leadership teams.

• You will enable disciplined execution and accountability by leading monthly project reviews with Project Managers and delivering detailed, schedule‑aligned forecasts.

• You will protect and enhance Linxon’s commercial position by interpreting contract terms and identifying claim, change order, warranty, and recovery opportunities.

• You will ensure transparency and governance by monitoring project changes, maintaining robust documentation, and aligning forecasts with evolving project conditions.

• You will safeguard financial integrity by applying IFRS‑aligned project accounting, including accurate cost allocation, accruals, and revenue recognition.

• You will drive cross‑functional alignment by partnering closely with Project Management, Legal, Procurement, Quality, HSE, and Finance to resolve risks and enable delivery.

• You will reduce rework and escalation by improving the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of project controls reporting.

• You will advance organizational capability by sharing knowledge, maximizing effective use of PIMS, and challenging legacy practices to elevate global Project Controls maturity.

Who you are?

• You are a results‑oriented Project Controls professional with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Finance, or Accounting and 5+ years of relevant project controls experience, taking ownership of cost, forecast, risk, and commercial outcomes—not just reports.

• You are analytically strong and skilled at translating complex project data into clear, actionable insight for Project Managers and leadership.

• You are disciplined in forecasting and variance analysis, with a strong focus on accuracy, transparency, and follow‑through.

• You are commercially astute, understanding contracts, warranties, change orders, claims, and recovery mechanisms, and knowing when to engage Legal and Finance partners.

• You are grounded in IFRS-aligned project accounting principles, ensuring cost allocation, accruals, and recoveries are defensible and audit‑ready.

• You are quality‑focused, taking pride in complete, timely, and well‑documented deliverables that reduce rework and follow‑ups.

• You are a strong collaborator across Project Management, Legal, Procurement, Quality, HSE, and Finance, believing the best outcomes come from shared ownership.

• You are comfortable challenging assumptions and the status quo when data or experience points to a better path.

• You are accountable and proactive, escalating risks early to protect trust, predictability, and results.

• You are a strategic thinker who views Project Controls as an enabler of business growth, scalability, and organizational credibility.
