hela Sverige The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a super-computing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation, and we are building it from the ground up.
We are now seeking three experienced Cost Controllers to join our Project Directorate.
About the role
Your main responsibility will be to provide integrated cost management support to our Project Management to maintain project costs, work breakdown structure, control account structure, and associated techniques to appropriately monitor, control and report on delivery of the project to schedule and cost. You will be an integral part of project teams and work closely with other project controls disciplines to provide an effective and value-added service.
Key responsibilities also include owning control estimates and budgets, managing ACWP data (man-hours, sub-contracts, plant & materials), preparing accruals and journals, and leading monthly EAC reviews. You'll support earned value reporting, variance analysis, and produce detailed ETC forecasts.
You'll manage control accounts and CBS, ensure schedule alignment with planners, and develop robust EACs. Additionally, you'll handle scope changes, oversee monthly reporting, forecast staffing plans, and conduct Earned Value Analysis to identify risks and recovery strategies.
In this role, you will be able to use your expertise with systems such as project dashboards, cost control databases, and schedule management tools to ensure data integrity and project success.
You will report functionally to the Project Control Manager centrally and will be deployed within an ESS Sub-Project to lead all Cost Management activities.

Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills are essential, along with keen attention to detail and a proactive problem-solving mindset. You are receptive to feedback, committed to personal and professional growth, and capable of fostering positive, collaborative relationships within a team. Strong analytical and numerical skills will further support success in this position.
