About The Position

As a Project Controller with Linxon, you will drive financial excellence and predictable project execution by continuously measuring, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting project costs, cash flow, and revenue throughout the project lifecycle. Supporting Linxon’s Substation EPC portfolio—including utilities, battery storage, rail, and data centers—you will provide rigorous financial oversight, identify risks and opportunities early, and enable data‑driven decision‑making that protects margins and strengthens delivery confidence.

Through disciplined forecasting, transparent reporting, and strong commercial awareness, you will directly support recovery strategies, improve execution consistency, and contribute to Linxon’s growth and credibility across the North American market.

Requirements

• You are grounded in GAAP‑aligned project accounting principles, ensuring cost allocation, accruals, and recoveries are defensible and audit‑ready.
• You are quality‑focused, taking pride in complete, timely, and well‑documented deliverables that reduce rework and follow‑ups.
• You are a strong collaborator across Project Management, Legal, Procurement, Quality, HSE, and Finance, believing the best outcomes come from shared ownership.
• You are comfortable challenging assumptions and the status quo when data or experience points to a better path.
• You are accountable and proactive, escalating risks early to protect trust, predictability, and results.
• You are a strategic thinker who views Project Controls as an enabler of business growth, scalability, and organizational credibility.

Responsibilities

• Drive predictable project outcomes by controlling, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting project cost, cash flow, revenue, progress, and risk from execution through close‑out.
• Improve cost and schedule performance by identifying variances early, assessing long‑term impacts, and supporting timely, effective recovery actions.

• Safeguard financial integrity by applying GAAP‑aligned project accounting, including accurate cost allocation, accruals, and revenue recognition.
• Drive cross‑functional alignment by partnering closely with Project Management, Legal, Procurement, Quality, HSE, and Finance to resolve risks and enable delivery.
