Cost Controller

A Cost Controller manages the budget associated with a particular project or program. You might be involved in setting a budget and will monitor costs during the life of the project. Cost Controllers track spending and make recommendations for saving money. You might prepare reports on project costs and make predictions for future expenses.

Cost Controllers should have good money management skills and keen attention to detail. It’s important you can communicate clearly with a range of stakeholders and work as part of a team. Cost Controllers must be organised and able to manage their time well. You’ll need good problem solving skills and should be able to adapt your skills to suit changing circumstances.
