  • Maintain and update program and project‑level budgets in alignment with the approved cost baseline
  • Produce regular cost reports, dashboards, and financial performance metrics

  • Ensure compliance with corporate and client financial policies, controls, and audit requirements
  • Maintain strong coordination with accounting, commercial, scheduling, and document control teams
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of project controls systems, including adoption of new digital tools (e.g., PMIS / cost system updates)
  • Work effectively within an integrated client‑consultant environment and strengthen client relationships

Your Capabilities and Credentials

  • Experience with cost management or ERP systems (e.g., Oracle, EcoSys, PMIS tools, etc.)
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and standard reporting tools
  • Excellent communication skills with proven ability to distill complex information into clear recommendations
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse technical and commercial teams
  • Experience on major capital infrastructure programs (preferred)
  • Knowledge of earned value concepts and cost‑schedule integration (preferred)
  • Familiarity with AACE International principles and best practices (preferred)

Education and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, Finance, Construction Management, or related field
  • Minimum 5 years relevant program/project controls experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in cost governance, forecasting, and financial analysis on capital programs

Success in This Role Looks Like
