Are you ready to apply your financial acumen to projects that make a real difference? RPS is looking for an experienced Project Controller to support the delivery of infrastructure projects within our Oceans and Environment team in Melbourne.
Join a globally connected consultancy that’s solving problems that matter, with projects that support environmental resilience and community prosperity.
Why RPS?
At RPS, we define, design and manage projects that create shared value in a complex, urbanising and resource-scarce world. With a team of 5,000 across 125 countries, we combine deep expertise with a pragmatic mindset – and we make the complex easy.
Your Role

You will manage financial aspects across a diverse project portfolio, support proposal development and maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal teams.
What You’ll Do
Our people live our purpose, deliver our promise, and demonstrate our behaviours every day. Our behaviours define who we are. Developed by our people, they underpin everything that we do. They create the memorable experiences we are known for and make RPS a great place to do great work.
Stronger together is one of our five core behaviours and it is key to building a collaborative workplace. We encourage everyone to bring their best and to support others to do the same. By sharing knowledge, challenging each other to think differently, and fostering an environment of trust and respect, our people can learn, grow and thrive – and share in our success.
