Reporting to the Commercial Manager, the Project Controls Manager is accountable for establishing, implementing, and maintaining the cost, schedule, risk, and reporting frameworks that ensure successful delivery of the Stibnite Gold Project (SGP). The role provides independent oversight of project performance, ensuring that all phases--engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and transition to operations--are delivered in alignment with approved budgets, schedules, and governance requirements.
The Project Controls Manager will develop and manage the integrated project control systems, including estimating, scheduling/planning, change management, risk analysis, and progress measurement (i.e., cost control).

The incumbent is expected to foster a culture of discipline, accountability, and continuous improvement across the project team, ensuring issues are identified early, risks are actively managed, and corrective actions are implemented. Through strong leadership and collaboration, the Project Controls Manager will safeguard the project's cost and schedule integrity, strengthen financial and operational readiness, and contribute to the safe and profitable development of the SGP.
