Project control specialist (work from home country)

Euro Mechanical is looking for a Project Control Specialist to work remotely from their home country.

The role will support the day-to-day financial and commercial management of manpower supply projects. The successful candidate must have practical experience in managing project budgets, revenue, costs, invoicing, payroll-related inputs, purchase orders, and financial performance within a manpower supply business model.

Monitor project profitability, gross margins, cost consumption, and overall financial performance. Prepare monthly revenue recognition summaries based on mobilized manpower, approved timesheets, contractual rates, and billable hours. Coordinate monthly invoice preparation, verification, supporting documentation, client approvals, and invoice submission. Track unbilled revenue, pending invoices, outstanding payments, and delayed customer approvals. Review employee timesheets, hour journals, mobilization records, employee codes, billing categories, and sales rates in ERP. Coordinate with Operations and Payroll teams to ensure manpower costs and billable hours are accurately recorded. Monitor purchase orders, contract values, amendments, extensions, renewals, and balance consumption. Maintain accurate commercial records for manpower contracts, employee deployments, client rates, and project costs. Prepare monthly management reports highlighting budget variances, financial risks, margin performance, and corrective actions. Support cost optimization initiatives and recommend measures to improve project profitability. Ensure compliance with contractual terms, internal financial controls, company policies, and client requirements. Coordinate closely with Project Managers, Operations Managers, Finance, Payroll, Recruitment, Procurement, clients, and other internal stakeholders.
