Job Overview
We are seeking a Project Controls Advisor (Intermediate) to support the subsea production system (SPS) scope of the Rovuma LNG Phase 1 project. Rovuma LNG will develop offshore gas resources in Area 4, Mozambique, feeding an onshore LNG facility planned at 18.6 million tonnes per year. The SPS contract covers subsea trees, manifolds, umbilicals, and associated controls, and it was recently signed on a lump sum basis. With the contract in its earliest stage, this role will help build the controls systems and processes from the ground up, then steward the contractor against its plan across cost, schedule, progress, and change. The position is based in Houston on a one-year assignment, with potential to extend.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement the project controls plan, systems, and processes for a newly awarded lump sum SPS contract.
- Steward the contractor against the agreed plan, tracking cost forecasts, schedule performance, and progress.
- Monitor schedule milestones so the contractor meets its obligations, with focus on delivery of company-provided items to the installation contract.
- Develop and maintain the change management process, including the change register and trend tracking.
- Evaluate change orders with the contract administrator, confirming validity, scope basis, and pricing against contract rates or a reasonable basis.
- Support communications and resolution on disputed changes and contractor claims.
- Analyze cost and schedule performance and prepare stewardship reports for project leadership.
- Partner with project engineers and design leads to confirm the contractor is meeting its contractual obligations.
- Coordinate with the installation contractor and project controls engineers on other EPC contracts to keep SPS deliverables aligned with the overall project schedule.
- Draft project procedures, decision support documents (white papers), and inputs to appropriation requests as needed.
- Support the Project Controls Supervisor in improving tools and processes, and mentor less experienced team members.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, or Construction Management.
- 6 to 10 years of experience in project controls, project services, and planning on major capital projects.
- Experience with lump sum contracts, including cost forecasting, change order evaluation, and stewarding a contractor against a plan.
- Working knowledge of planning and scheduling, progress measurement, and progress reporting, beyond financial cost tracking alone.
- Experience with contract administration and change management, working closely with contract administrators and project engineers.
- Ability to independently write high quality project procedures, reports, and decision support documents.
- Knowledge of project management best practices and key capital project work processes.
- Strong analytical, influencing, communication, and interpersonal skills.
- Able to work fully on site in Houston, split between the office and the contractor's office in the Energy Corridor.
Preferred Qualifications
- Subsea experience, ideally on a subsea production system contract covering trees, manifolds, umbilicals, or controls.
- Experience with EMCAPS or a comparable stage-gate project system.
- Experience developing Project Controls Plans or overseeing Class 3 cost estimates.
- Previous supervisory or mentoring experience.
- International project assignments.
- Willingness to travel occasionally (under 10%), mainly to Italy for EPC interface workshops and to fabrication sites.
