Controls Managers often encounter challenges such as coordinating between multidisciplinary teams, managing tight project deadlines, and ensuring that control systems integrate seamlessly with existing processes. They must also stay updated with evolving technologies while maintaining compliance with safety and industry standards. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential, as troubleshooting unexpected issues and adapting to changing project scopes are regular parts of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a controls manager?
