Job Description:
Background At Nicholas O'Dwyer, sustainability is at the core of our work. If you are looking to advance your career in a socially responsible company, which has a proven track record over 90 years, and is committed to creating a sustainable planet, we invite you to be part of our team. Our mission is to provide innovative and reliable solutions using cutting edge technology and expertise, to ensure project success and employee satisfaction. We deliver infrastructure projects in water, wastewater, transportation, civil and structural engineering, flood protection, and energy including renewables. With headquarters in Ireland, we also operate in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. As part of the RSK Group, an amalgamation of over 200 companies with more than 17,000 employees, we benefit from a global network of opportunities while retaining our brand and autonomy. Project Overview This landmark project is a cornerstone of Fiji’s national development strategy, aiming to modernise urban water and wastewater infrastructure across the Greater Suva Area. The initiative is designed to support rapid population growth and ensure environmental sustainability through three key project outputs: the implementation of a Performance Based Contract along the Suva-Nausori Water Supply System in the Central Region of Viti Levu, the expansion of the Kinoya Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Nasinu area, and the establishment of a state-of-the-art Water Academy in Lautoka to build long-term regional capacity. As part of the Project Implementation Support Consultant (PISC) assignment, we are providing the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) and its Infrastructure Delivery Unit (IDU) with high-level technical and management services. The goal is to ensure that all project outputs, stretching from the Suva-Nausori Water Supply System to the Western Region, are implemented effectively, on schedule, and in strict compliance with Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan and grant covenants. This is a unique opportunity to lead a transformative programme with a significant national impact in the South Pacific. We are currently seeking a highly experienced Project Controller with a minimum of 10 years’ post-graduate experience to lead the scheduling, monitoring, and financial tracking of these complex services. The ideal candidate will bring proven expertise in construction schedule management for large-scale infrastructure, with a sharp ability to identify critical path activities and mitigate potential delays. We are looking for a professional who can ensure rigorous quality control over contract deliverables, manage project milestones effectively, and maintain the financial integrity of a transformative infrastructure programme within a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural environment.
