Collaborate with internal teams to develop and maintain project controls plans and earned value measurement systems.
Monitor and report on project trends, cost performance, and financial risks.
Support project reporting efforts including preparation of monthly reporting packages and senior leadership updates.
Interface with engineering, procurement, construction, and accounting teams to ensure alignment across disciplines.
Evaluate contractor performance and input into estimate-at-completion reviews.
Participate in change management activities including trend logs and change order reviews.
Ensure all administrative, financial, and system close-out tasks are completed for project wrap-up.

Minimum of 6 years of experience in Project Controls, Cost Control, or similar roles.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (formulas, pivot tables, troubleshooting).
SAP experience is required; experience with project accounting and cost tracking tools is essential.
