About This Job

Let’s Build the Future of Industry — Together!

At ZAP Engineering & Construction Services, we don’t just design solutions—we engineer impact. Our team’s purpose is to ensure the successful execution of our clients' projects from start to finish, with constructable and cost-effective designs. From the oil fields of Texas to the mining operations of Canada and the manufacturing corridors of Mexico, our work keeps the industry moving. Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, ZAP provides comprehensive engineering, design, and construction management services across North America. Fast-paced, highly collaborative, and unapologetically ambitious—we’re not your typical engineering firm. We are seeking an Instrumentation and Controls Engineering Director to lead from the front—technically sharp, strategically minded, and ready to mentor the next generation of engineering talent.

We’re looking for an experienced Project Controls Specialist 3 to join our growing team and play a strategic role in the successful execution of major construction projects. In this role, you’ll bring together data, planning, and coordination to support project teams and senior leaders—ensuring every schedule, dollar, and deliverable stays on target.

If you’re someone who thrives on high-level planning, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring others while still staying grounded in the details, this is the opportunity for you.


What You’ll Do


Company-Wide Support & Leadership

Mentor, train, and support other members of the Project Controls team.
Develop and refine standards, templates, and best practices to improve efficiency.
Analyze company-wide data to identify trends and introduce innovative improvements.
Support PMs in budgeting, estimating, planning, and project setup across platforms.
Oversee kickoff and setup for construction projects, including scheduling and reporting tools.


Project Planning & Execution

Develop, update, and analyze detailed project and proposal schedules with a focus on constructability and coordination.
Integrate contractor schedules and run “what-if” analyses to support project decisions.
Generate EPC cash flow projections, assist with invoicing, and produce reports for both clients and executives.
Monitor KPIs to highlight project risks and provide timely, actionable feedback.
Coordinate with field teams to manage documentation in construction management software (e.g., submittals, RFIs, NCRs, inspections, daily logs).
Evaluate progress and productivity of both internal and external teams, helping adjust plans and improve performance.


What You Bring to the Table:

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field (required).
5+ years of experience in project controls in the construction or engineering industry.
Proficiency with project management software such as P6, Microsoft Project, and construction management tools.
Strong command of Excel and Microsoft Office Suite.
Excellent communication skills—written, verbal, and visual/presentation.
Proven leadership and mentoring experience within project teams.
Deep understanding of engineering and construction workflows, with the ability to anticipate challenges and drive solutions


Base Salary Range:

$104,000 to $145,600 annually, depending on experience.

Total Rewards Package Includes:

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being and long-term success:

Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

401(k) Retirement Plan
Accrued Paid Time Off (PTO)
Short-Term & Long-Term Disability Coverage
Basic & Voluntary Life / AD&D Insurance
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Supplemental Aflac Options
