  • Full-time
  • Division: Network Build

Company Description

We’re changing up Britain

We’re on a mission to build the UK’s finest digital infrastructure and unleash Britain’s potential. There’s never been a more exciting time to join the CityFibre family. We’re accelerating towards a full fibre future and delivering Gigabit Cities right across the UK. We’re changing up Britain’s digital infrastructure, boosting the economy, connecting communities and leaving a legacy for future generations.

A rewarding career

We’re passionate about our work and we’re passionate about our people too. With a salary of up to £35,475 depending on experience, when you join the CityFibre family you’ll also enjoy benefits like 25 days’ holiday, a day off on your birthday, a day off to support a charity or organisation of your choice, performance-related bonus scheme, and private healthcare.

How can you change it up?

Our full-fibre infrastructure is transforming cities, powering innovation and speeding up Britain. We’re looking for a confident and organised Project Controller to work alongside the Build Manager and Project Manager, playing a crucial, hands-on role in delivering Fibre To The Home rollouts across the City. You’ll have a complete overview of each project, including activity, risks and costs, flagging any potential issues and driving improvements to our processes, helping us deliver fibre faster and more efficiently. You will also;

  • Ensure that there is complete visibility of activity, costs and risks across all areas of the project
  • Create and maintain comprehensive project documentation
  • Coordinate the project activities by working with all stakeholders to enable flawless project execution
  • Monitor and track against the detailed project plan – identifying risk and supporting the Project Manager and Build Manager in identifying mitigation activities
  • Report project progress, status, cost and risk using appropriate tools and techniques

What will you bring to the role?

You will have a proven track record in coordinating large scale complex projects in a B2B environment, excellent organisational skills and the ability to liaise with people at all levels. It will also be beneficial if you have a degree in a related field, but this is not vital. However, you will need;

  • Project Management skills across all aspects, from inception to delivery and handover
  • A proven ability to develop and manage project budgets and finances
  • In-depth knowledge of project management methodologies such as Prince 2 or PMI and MS Project
  • Leadership and people management skills

For this role, you will need to have experience in the following: 

  • End-to-end Project Management delivery
  • Planning and controlling complex, multi-workstream projects
  • Devising and delivering mitigations to address risks
  • Using various Microsoft Office tools such as Excel and MS Project 

Whilst it is beneficial that experience comes from a telecommunications or construction background, it is not essential.
