Opportunity
Purpose:

As part of a project leadership team, APMT are looking for an individual to lead the project controls discipline for APMT Med Port Tangier expansion (TM2-E) project. The role is the Project Controls Lead (PCL).

Project implementation is a key value driver in APM Terminals (APMT). Our ability to build a container terminal, establish an operational organization and secure commercial business delivers real NPV to APMT and the broader A.P. Møller – Mærsk (APMM) business. Equally, if we are able to improve on the original plans for a project, we may be able to secure incremental value for the entire APMM group and broader stakeholders.

The TM2-E project will expand an existing, fully automated terminal operation, which is strategically important to APMM and the world economy. Whilst the project focusses primarily on delivering assets, the most complex challenge is in integrating them into the existing operation.

To be successful in this role, we need our Project Controls Lead to deliver in three areas:

1. A source of one-truth on performance. Transparent and purposeful communication is essential. This will include internal (the broader project team) and external (broader APMM and external) stakeholder communication. Building rapport, project-wide commitment (to accurate reporting and planning) and psychological trust will be critical to providing accurate information.
2. A centre of excellence for project management knowledge to support decision making. Knowledge of project management best practice and tools, and an understanding of lean will be important. Success will be possible if the project can remain focusssed on customer value, even if this evolves from what it looks like today.
3. A driving force for proactive and effective project management and leadership. To facilitate the management of project performance, projects need to be proactive. This means a strong knowledge and responsibility for reporting on leading and lagging indicators.

Project controls is a key technical function to deliver our project success criteria and ultimately the benefits back to the business. How this is led and delivered is just as essential as what is delivered. We believe it requires transparency on the results, great knowledge or experience to draw upon, and a mindset focussed on predicting and improving in the future.
