About this Project Controller role at AVK

AVK · Onsite · Maidenhead, England, United Kingdom

At AVK we’re looking for a Project Controller to join our Finance team.

The Project Controller owns commercial finance integrity across project delivery — from handover through to outturn. The role holds ownership of the JCR process as the single source of truth for project financial performance, tracking actuals, ETC, outturn, risk and opportunity against the sold position.

Working closely with Commercial and Delivery teams, the Project Controller ensures margin erosion is identified early and escalated — not normalised — and that delivery financials remain disciplined against the assumptions the project was sold on.

About AVK

For over 30 years AVK have been providing Generator & UPS solutions for mission critical services and systems.

No matter the scale or how challenging. We can design any system containing UPS systems, standby generators, switch gear & control systems around your requirements, in the present and for the future.

We have offices and service hubs across the UK and Europe with a unique ability to design, manufacture, install and service standby power systems. AVK-SEG was founded in 1989 and were initially the UK specialists for both the AVK and SEG product ranges including protection relays for grid applications. We quickly established a reputation as experts in Diesel Rotary UPS systems (DRUPS), which became our core business for a number of years. We recognised early the shift in the marketplace towards Static power protection systems, and set up an exclusive partnership agreement with one of Europe’s largest manufacturers to supply and maintain large numbers of their equipment in the UK, which enabled us to build on our reputation but also increase our brand recognition.

More and more of the large-scale projects we were involved in required Diesel Generator sets in addition to the UPS we offered, and as the trust in our team and experience continued to grow, we were approached by a number of clients to take on further responsibilities for their critical power systems. To meet these demands for a ‘one stop shop’ we expanded our offering to include other products that complete a power protection package – Generators, UPS, Switchgear, Relays and Controls. A number of global manufacturers were keen to work with us, and with their support, we were able to diversify our offering and open up a range of business opportunities. Initial success delivering LV projects for Telecoms quickly grew into massive successes delivering large scale HV multi-module projects for Data Centres and various campus sites, enabling us to become the UK’s leader in critical power solutions.

Our clients rely on us to deliver best-in-class solutions to complex power challenges – driving us to constantly grow and develop both our product and service offerings to meet their needs. To that end, with an increasing drive towards sustainability, recent years have seen us partner with other industry leaders to grow our expertise in sustainable power solutions such as gas generators and battery storage systems – both of which help our clients to not only save money but increase their revenue streams.

Over thirty years down the line, AVK are one of the most trusted power solutions providers across the UK and Europe, but we haven’t lost track of our beginnings. Our unique ability to design, manufacture, install and service standby power systems across a number of sectors sees us at the forefront of the industry – a position we strive to maintain – with the same determination to deliver for our clients and the same drive to succeed.
