At Titan Electric, we're looking for a Project Controls Manager who can see trouble before it shows up on a financial statement.
Someone who understands that every missed schedule milestone, labor overrun, procurement delay, or bad forecast eventually turns into a profit problem.
You'll be the person helping our executives, project teams, and field leaders make smarter decisions faster.
If you love turning messy project data into clear direction and enjoy holding teams accountable to reality—not optimism—we should talk.
Titan Electric has been building and powering some of the most complex commercial and mission-critical projects in the country since 2006.
We've grown fast, but we've never lost sight of what matters:
We're building the infrastructure that keeps businesses, hospitals, data centers, schools, and communities operating.
And we're building a company where top performers can do the best work of their careers.
Your job is simple:
Make sure leadership always knows the truth about project performance.
Not the optimistic forecast.
Not the watered-down update.
The truth.
You'll lead the systems, reporting, forecasting, scheduling, risk management, and project controls processes that help Titan protect margin, improve execution, and scale intelligently across multiple offices.
You'll connect operations, project management, field leadership, finance, estimating, and technology teams into one version of reality.
Within your first 12–24 months, you'll help Titan:
Project managers consistently produce reliable Cost-To-Complete and Cost-At-Completion forecasts.
Project schedules become trustworthy management tools instead of documents updated only when someone asks for them.
Executives can quickly understand project health across the entire portfolio.
Project teams actually use the tools we've invested in.
Risks are identified early enough to do something about them.
What works in one office works across the company.
You'll help project teams understand where projects truly stand financially.
Responsibilities include:
You'll establish scheduling discipline across the organization.
You'll:
Technology only works when people actually use it.
You'll become the business owner and champion for project management platforms and workflows.
That includes:
You'll help identify problems before they become emergencies.
You'll work with:
To identify:
You'll help leadership understand what could go wrong—and what needs to happen next.
You'll transform project data into decision-making tools.
Responsibilities include:
Today you'll lead.
Tomorrow you'll help build.
You'll play a key role in shaping the future Project Controls organization.
That means:
We're less interested in buzzwords and more interested in experience.
You naturally ask:
You enjoy finding patterns.
You challenge assumptions respectfully.
You can translate complicated project information into language executives understand.
And you care just as much about operational outcomes as financial results.
You'll stand out if you have:
We work in a modern construction environment that may include:
Advanced Excel skills are expected.
The best Project Controls Managers don't just report history.
They influence the future.
Every major project decision becomes better when leaders have the right information at the right time.
That's what you'll provide.
If you've built your career helping construction teams improve forecasting, reduce risk, increase accountability, and protect profitability—and you're ready to do it on a much larger stage—we'd like to meet you.
