Entry Level Project Controls Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level project controls analyst job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for familiarity with scheduling software like Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, basic cost tracking concepts, and attention to detail. A capstone project, construction internship, or engineering co-op gives you concrete examples to discuss in interviews. A degree in engineering, construction management, or a related field strengthens your application, but candidates who can demonstrate hands-on scheduling or cost reporting experience stand out regardless of background.
Which companies hire entry level project controls analysts?
Companies hiring entry level project controls analysts right now include aptim, Fagron, and Walmart, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring is spread across large engineering and construction firms, government contractors, energy companies, and infrastructure developers that build project controls teams from early-career talent.
Are there remote entry level project controls analyst jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles dominate at the entry level. About 0% of entry level project controls analyst openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on, project-site nature of the work. Remote openings tend to appear more often with corporate or program-level roles rather than field-based positions, so checking the work setting on each listing is worth your time.
Are these new grad project controls analyst jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior project controls analyst roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that requirement, or accepts a strong academic portfolio in place of full-time history. Look for language like "entry level," "new grad," or "recent graduates encouraged to apply" in the job description to confirm the experience threshold.
Which industries hire the most entry level project controls analysts?
Entry Level project controls analyst roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Retail, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run large capital programs, government contracts, or infrastructure projects that require dedicated cost and schedule tracking from day one of a project lifecycle.
