Build the Numbers Behind the Work That Keeps Communities Powered

At NG Gilbert, project controls is about more than tracking numbers. It's about giving our operations teams the information they need to make better decisions, keep projects moving, and deliver for our customers.

As a Project Controls Coordinator, you'll work across multiple utility construction markets, helping leadership understand project productivity, labor utilization, scheduling, resource allocation, and cost performance. You'll partner with project managers and field leaders to turn project data into meaningful information that directly supports how work is planned and executed.

For someone who enjoys connecting data with operations, this role offers exposure to the inner workings of a multi-state utility construction organization and an opportunity to continue building experience across project controls, project management, and operations.
