POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Project Controller is responsible for driving financial and schedule performance across government contracts.

Perform detailed variance analysis (cost, revenue, labor, subcontractors, ODCs) and clearly communicate impacts to leadership.
Enforce disciplined financial controls across projects, including charge codes, labor management, and accruals.
Support indirect rate management and evaluate impacts of rate changes on project performance.
Ensure accurate and timely revenue recognition, and cash flow in accordance with contract terms.
Prepare financial reports and dashboards from Workday Adaptive and ERP systems with clear, actionable insights.

Schedule & Performance Control:

Partner with Project Managers to develop and maintain realistic but strategic project schedules.
Monitor schedule performance and resource utilization to identify slippage and productivity issues.

Assist with transition planning from bid to execution.
Support contract modifications, funding changes, and closeout activities.
Support development of risk and fee profiles.

Assist Project Manager with annual budget preparation and periodic forecast updates. Interface with Project Managers in compiling revenue and direct cost projections for projects.

Required Skills

WHAT YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field.

Proven ability to manage multiple projects with competing priorities.
Advanced Excel skills; experience with project accounting and ERP systems.
Demonstrated ability to challenge assumptions, enforce discipline, and drive results.
Excellent communication skills with the confidence to work with senior leadership.
