• Cost Tracking & Reporting: Develop and execute cost execution plans (e.g., cost curves) by function. • Generate weekly and monthly detailed cost reports by project scope. • Monitor budget line items weekly and identify variances for escalation and mitigation. • Budget Management: Maintain budget version control to ensure all agreed changes are reflected in the forecast. • Collaborate with budget owners to estimate Cost to Complete based on actual costs, commitment costs, and potential variation orders. • Project Alignment: Work closely with the scheduler to align project schedules with cost curves. • Support Bill of Quantity (BOQ) quantity tracking tied to unit costs versus budget and latest forecast. • Stakeholder Collaboration: Prepare for PMR reviews on a quarterly/bi-annual basis with the business. • Provide valuable feedback to Sales, ITO, and IPM on lessons learned for future bids and budgets. • Risk Management: Conduct risk & opportunity analyses and monitor project risks. • Follow up on action plans and conduct ad-hoc analyses on estimating headwinds cost implications. • Identify root causes of cost overruns and suggest effective mitigation plans. • Process Improvement: Support the creation and implementation of new cost controlling mechanisms and structures. • Execute process improvement actions and identify operational rhythms for functional alignment. • Change Order & Claim Analysis: Coordinate functional estimates for change order costs. • Track variance to budget of approved change orders (actual vs planned spend).
