Prepare both project and portfolio level reporting, which includes but is not limited to monthly cost reports, progress summaries, dashboards, and KPI updates for management review.
Monitor project risks, trends, and potential deviations; collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to recommend mitigation actions and communicate cost impacts proactively.
Manage financial controls processes—purchase requisitions, purchase orders, budget transfers, and commitment management—and ensure alignment across cost systems, accounting, and procurement.
Ability to innovate our cost management system by piloting new concepts, scaling to the construction business group, and facilitate change management/training to have sustained process adherence.
Provide ad-hoc cost studies, scenario analyses, and decision-support reporting as needed.
Drive consistency and continuous improvement of cost control practices, tools, and reporting standards across projects.
