POSITION SUMMARY:

  1. Cost Control and Variance Analysis
  • Track Variances: Monitor actual spending against budgeted lines, highlighting cost variances early.
  • Change Order Management: Financial evaluates all proposed project modifications, scoping out their dollar impact before approval.
  • Earned Value Management (EVM): Blend schedule progress with actual costs to measure the project's real efficiency.
  1. Vendor, Contract, and Contingency Management
  • Contract Oversight: Review milestones, payment terms, and invoices for major Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors.
  • Contingency Tracking: Manage the project's emergency fallback funds, ensuring contingency draws are fully justified.
  • Audit Support: Lead regular physical and financial audits of material deliveries and vendor billing records.
  1. Reporting and Governance

  • Risk Mapping: Maintain the financial risk register, assigning dollar impacts to potential supply chain or construction delays.

  • Experience: 5 to 8 years of cost control or project accounting experience, specifically managing large-scale ($50M+) capital infrastructure or industrial projects.
  • Certification: Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Project Management Professional (PMP), or CMA/CPA is highly preferred.

Technical Skills

  • Project Management Tools: Mastery of scheduling and cost systems like Primavera P6, Deltek, or specialized ERP project modules (SAP PS, Oracle Projects).
  • Advanced Data Analysis: Expert-level Excel capabilities (including macros, index/match, and power query) or Power BI dashboard building.
  • EVM Methodology: Deep knowledge of Earned Value Management principles (CPI, SPI, and variance metrics).

Behavioral Skills

  • Assertive Communication: The confidence to challenge project directors and engineering leads when spending deviates from the plan. Cross-Functional Fluency: The ability to read engineering milestones and translate technical delays into concrete financial risks.
