About the Role
UCC Holding seeks a Senior Internal Auditor to execute risk-based audits across EPC and capital projects. The role requires an engineer with project controls experience to independently assess cost, schedule, and contract management.
Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Execute risk based internal audit engagements across UCC's EPC and capital projects portfolio, including JV structured projects, in line with the IIA's International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF)
- Review and test project controls across cost engineering, scheduling, progress measurement, earned value, change/variation order management, and contractor/subcontractor performance
- Evaluate the integrity of project cost reports, forecasts, and cost to complete estimates against underlying project data
- Assess schedule management practices, including critical path logic, delay analysis, and EOT (extension of time) claims
- Review claims, variation orders, and contractual entitlement positions for completeness, accuracy, and supporting documentation
- Develop and execute Risk Control Matrices (RCMs), distinguishing design effectiveness (DE) from operating effectiveness (OE), specific to project controls processes
- Perform fieldwork, gather evidence, and document workpapers to a standard that supports clear, defensible audit conclusions
- Draft audit findings and contribute to audit reports, translating technical project issues into clear risk and control language for non technical stakeholders
- Engage with project directors, project controls managers, and commercial/contracts teams to discuss observations and agree corrective action
- Track open findings through to remediation closure
- Support the Internal Audit Manager/Lead in planning and scoping engagements requiring technical project controls expertise
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or related discipline)
- Professional certification preferred or in progress (CIA, CCP, PMP, or equivalent)
- Minimum 6 8 years of experience in project controls (cost engineering, planning/scheduling, or contracts) on EPC, construction, or infrastructure projects
- Prior internal audit, risk, or assurance experience is an advantage but not mandatory if project controls depth is strong
- Solid understanding of EPC contract structures, claims, variation orders, and JV project arrangements
- Strong analytical skills, with ability to interrogate cost and schedule data and identify control weaknesses
- Good report writing and communication skills, with ability to translate technical findings for non technical audiences
- Familiarity with risk based audit methodologies aligned to the IIA IPPF is a plus
Full Job Posting
About the Role
- You will execute risk based internal audits across UCC's EPC and capital projects, bringing the technical fluency of an engineer and the analytical discipline of a project controls professional to the audit function.
- This role is for someone who has sat inside project teams — reading schedules, cost reports, and variation logs as a practitioner — and now wants to apply that lens independently, as an assurance provider.
