Hire Project Controls Managers who own integrated cost + schedule + risk discipline — earned value management, contingency governance, forecasting rigor, and executive-facing program reporting. Not a Scheduler with a fancier title.

Example candidateA structured process for the integrated controls hire — where the wrong Manager loses the EAC narrative, loses contingency, and loses executive confidence in the reporting.
30-minute call. Align on program scale, delivery method, WBS structure, EVMS maturity, exec reporting cadence, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Project Controls Managers with AACE credentials + verified integrated controls track record. References from prior CFOs, PMOs, and program directors included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Project Controls Managers own integrated program truth. EVM discipline, forecasting rigor, and risk-quantification credibility separate a Controls Manager who protects executive confidence from one who becomes the source of the surprise.
Every Controls Manager has verified integrated cost + schedule + risk discipline. Not schedule alone. Not cost alone.
Reference-verified EVM authorship: CPI, SPI, TCPI, EAC-narrative + risk-adjusted contingency.
Reference-verified from prior CFOs, PMOs, and program directors on reporting-integrity and forecast track record.
Every candidate is credential-verified, client-referenced, and matched to your program scale + EVMS maturity. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.
