Projects in the engineering construction industry (ECI) are often large, complex and with a high degree of risk. This requires greater detail in the analysis and interpretation of the data involved.
Project controllers provide data analysis and insight, which requires skills such as estimating, planning, scheduling, cost control and risk management. The role involves setting detailed objectives against which progress is tracked, analysing progress and then providing robust recommendations and recovery plans.
This all enables the project manager to be able to keep the project on track. So, without the support of a good project controls team, you’re not going to succeed.
