Entry Level Program Control Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level program control analyst job?
Entry level program control analyst roles typically look for candidates who can demonstrate familiarity with earned value management concepts, basic cost and schedule analysis, and spreadsheet tools like Excel. Internship experience in a government contracting or defense environment is a strong differentiator at this stage, and coursework in finance, business administration, or systems engineering is commonly cited in job postings. Tailoring your resume to reflect project support experience, even from academic work, helps.
Which companies hire entry level program control analysts?
Companies hiring entry level program control analysts right now include Cleveland-Cliffs, Jobot, and Ursus, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, defense contractors, aerospace firms, and federal consulting companies tend to post the most openings, as their project structures and contract requirements create consistent demand for junior program control support.
Are there remote entry level program control analyst jobs?
Yes, though most openings at this level are on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of program reporting and contract compliance work. About 15% of entry level program control analyst openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates with flexibility on location will have the widest range of options to consider.
Are these new grad program control analyst jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior program control analyst roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it explicitly welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-op rotations in lieu of full-time history, or lists a relevant degree as the primary qualification. If a posting emphasizes foundational tools and training rather than independent project ownership, it is a strong fit for a new grad.
Which industries hire the most entry level program control analysts?
Entry Level program control analyst roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Consulting & Professional Services, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent entry level hiring because their projects operate under long-term government contracts or complex multi-phase structures that require dedicated cost and schedule tracking support from the ground up.
