Hello! I'm Carly
I am an experienced Principal Project Controller and have worked my way up the various PMO levels over the years. I have worked in the Aerospace and Defence industry for the last 15 years. I provide companies with Project Controls and Scheduling support, to aid in the delivery of complex and high value Cyber, Maritime, Land & Weapons Projects. I have experience with supporting Agile and Waterfall style projects. I have spent the last year in a PMO Coordinator role, supporting a small Defence company with setting up their PMO function, creating and delivering Project Control processes, best practice guidance and training documentation.
I take pride in my strong work ethic, efficiency, analytical and problem solving skills and apply these strengths to support the delivery of projects, under the tightest deadlines and within budget.
My passion is delivering high quality Project Controls support, that is effective and most importantly adds value. I enjoy promoting Project Controls as a long term career option and sharing my knowledge to train and mentor Project Controllers that are new to the profession.

CLIENTS & TESTIMONIALS
Carly, thanks for your hard work over the last few years. You are the best controller I have worked with over the last 15 years. You have made a massive difference to the PMO & IDT and made my job much easier than you will ever imagine.

Carly reached out (on her own initiative) to relevant areas of the business to ensure she learnt first hand what needs to be achieved. In doing this she built a network of key contacts, enabling Carly to resolve issues quickly when they arise. Carly also contributed to process improvement, this resulted in Carly coming up to speed rapidly, which has been impressive to watch. Her attention to detail provides complete confidence in the work she is generating, allowing the PM to focus on project delivery.
