Information Technology Project Coordinator

IT Project Controller (Intermediate)

Calgary, AB, Canada

Duration :: 12 Months

Responsibilities

WHAT THIS PERSON ACTUALLY DOES

• Support the IT project-controls team as an intermediate resource who can float across assignments and work closely with senior controllers. The role is not intended to own a large portfolio independently from day one.
• Own project-controller responsibilities for an assigned IT portfolio, including budget management, forecasting, commitments, project monitoring, financial analysis, and monthly financial reporting. The person will also support routine requisitioning and purchase-order activity.
• Work closely with senior controllers, Project Managers, and Delivery Managers. The role requires enough IT/infrastructure context to understand the nuances of technology projects rather than requiring the team to explain the environment from the ground up.
• The role is specifically oriented toward IT infrastructure projects such as network upgrades and data-center projects. The strongest candidates can explain concrete project examples, the scale they supported, what they personally controlled, and the impact of their work.
• The position is a junior-to-intermediate addition to the team following a senior controller's move into the business. The intended model is to give the new controller one portfolio while using them as flexible support across the broader team.

TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT

• SAP - the person will use SAP heavily, specifically the Project System (PS) module. SAP experience is a meaningful advantage, particularly where the candidate has used it for project controls and related project administration.
• IT infrastructure project environment - relevant examples include network upgrades, data-center projects, and comparable technology infrastructure work.
• Project controls - budgeting, forecasting, commitments, project monitoring, financial analysis, and monthly reporting. Requisition and purchase-order experience is a strong plus.

Experience required

MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENTS

• REQUIRED • Relevant project-controls experience with responsibility for budgeting, forecasting, commitments, project monitoring, financial analysis, or monthly reporting. • Approximately 5 years of professional experience; the target is junior-to-intermediate/intermediate, not senior. • Ability to work independently on routine project-control responsibilities while collaborating with senior controllers. • Experience working with project stakeholders, particularly Project Managers and/or Delivery Managers. • Ability to work in the Alberta hybrid arrangement.

STRONG PREFERENCES

• Prior IT project or IT infrastructure experience, particularly network upgrades, data centers, or comparable infrastructure programs.
• Hands-on SAP experience, specifically SAP PS / Project System.
• Experience with requisitioning and purchase orders within project environments.
