Career Opportunity
Want to help deliver one of the TTC's most important strategic initiatives? Join the Renewable Energy Programs (REP) team as a Project Controls Coordinator, where you will play a critical role in supporting the delivery of a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of electrification, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects that will help power TTC's transition to a zero-emission fleet.
This role goes beyond traditional project coordination and administration. You will serve as a strategic integrator, working closely with Project Managers, Program Managers, Project Coordinators, Finance, and stakeholders across the organization to ensure projects remain aligned with approved scope, schedule, budget, quality, and governance requirements.
What You Will Do
Reporting to the Head of Renewable Energy Programs, you will provide project controls leadership and coordination across a large and complex portfolio of renewable energy, fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, energy storage, solar generation, and facility modernization projects that support TTC's transition to a net-zero fleet.
As one of only two Project Controls Coordinators supporting the portfolio, you will serve as a key interface between project teams, finance, project management, and TTC stakeholders, ensuring project controls processes are consistently applied and project performance is effectively monitored throughout the project lifecycle.
You will work closely with Senior Project Managers, Program Managers, Project Coordinators, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders to coordinate planning and scheduling activities, maintain cost controls, manage budgets and forecasts, monitor project performance, and support governance and reporting requirements. Through ongoing analysis and engagement with project delivery teams, you will ensure decision-makers have accurate and timely information regarding project health, risks, costs, schedules, and forecast outcomes.
A significant component of the role involves maintaining financial controls within SAP, including budget monitoring, forecasting, internal order management, cost transfers, settlements, accruals, cash flow monitoring, and variance analysis. You will help ensure financial information remains accurate and aligned with approved capital plans, project baselines, and funding commitments.
You will coordinate the development, review, and validation of project controls deliverables, including schedules, cost estimates, forecasts, cash flow projections, stage-gate documentation, performance metrics, and management reports. By reviewing project data and performance trends, you will identify budget and schedule variances, investigate root causes, recommend corrective actions, and support recovery planning to maintain project objectives.
The successful incumbent will prepare management dashboards, status reports, key performance indicators, and executive reporting materials that provide meaningful insights into project performance and support informed decision-making. You will transform complex project information into actionable recommendations for project teams and leadership.
You will also support compliance with rigorous internal governance processes and external funding requirements associated with provincial, federal, and municipal funding programs. This includes coordinating reporting requirements, maintaining data integrity across project controls systems, supporting audits and governance reviews, and helping ensure compliance with funding agreements and reporting obligations.
Given the strategic nature of TTC's electrification and renewable energy initiatives, your work will directly contribute to the successful delivery of charging infrastructure, power upgrades, energy storage systems, solar projects, and facility electrification projects that support TTC's long-term climate commitments and fleet modernization objectives.
Promotes a respectful work and service environment that supports diversity, inclusion, and is free from harassment and discrimination. Provides leadership in the development and implementation of inclusive and accessible policies, programs and/or services for employees and customers in accordance with TTC's commitments and obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC) and Related Orders, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and TTC's policies.
