Project Services Engineer

Location: East Anglia / Southern North Sea Projects

Sector: Oil & Gas Brownfield Project Services

Contract Type: Permanent

We're supporting a leading operator in the East Anglia region in their search for a Project Services Engineer to join their Brownfield

Modifications Team. This is a critical role based within one of the UK's most established energy hubs, supporting brownfield projects tied to the Southern North Sea asset base.

Overview

As a Project Controls Lead, you'll be a key player in delivering brownfield modification scopes-ranging from minor upgrades to complex brownfield integration projects. You'll bring deep expertise in Cost Control, Planning, or Reporting, acting as a subject matter expert and advisor across the project lifecycle.

Operating within a high-performing regional project team, you'll work closely with the Brownfield Modifications Manager to ensure cost, schedule, and reporting deliverables are met with precision and pace.

Core Responsibilities

Cost Control

• Build, maintain, and deliver detailed cost schedules from source data with minimal oversight.
• Tailor cost information and analysis to suit the needs of regional and corporate stakeholders.
• Support cost-related elements of change control, estimating, forecasting, and reporting.
• Drive data quality using structured tools and reporting frameworks.

Planning

• Deliver CTR catalogues and establish robust project baselines.
• Develop and manage fully logic-linked, cost/resource-loaded schedules across multiple scopes.
• Produce earned value analysis and regular performance reports to inform project decision-making.
• Maintain Primavera P9 schedules aligned to brownfield project requirements.

We're looking for candidates with a strong track record supporting project controls within the East Anglia or Southern North Sea oil & gas environment, ideally with brownfield or modifications experience.

• Demonstrable experience in cost and project controls, with a focus on complex brownfield or asset upgrade work.
• Comfortable engaging and influencing stakeholders across onshore and offshore teams.
• High proficiency with Microsoft Office and planning tools such as Primavera (P6/P9).
• Strong understanding of the full project lifecycle-from early concept through to close-out.
• Solid foundation across key project control functions: estimating, planning, scheduling, cost tracking, change management, and reporting.
• Able to operate autonomously and under pressure, with a proactive and problem-solving mindset.
• Good commercial awareness and appreciation of typical oil & gas contract/legal frameworks.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-visibility projects in a region where energy is central to the local economy. If you're based in or around East Anglia-or are open to relocating-and want to apply your expertise in a strategic role with long-term project impact, we'd love to hear from you.
