    • Develop and maintain cost plans, estimates, budgets, and cash flow forecasts aligned with project scope and timelines.
    • Monitor cost performance, track actuals vs. forecasts, and report variances; maintain historical cost data for benchmarking.
    • Review and validate change orders and payment applications, ensuring proper documentation, compliance, and cost justification.
    • Assist with procurement strategies, bid analysis, vendor prequalification, and contractor negotiations; prepare bid leveling documents and manage appointment processes.
    • Prepare and present cost reports, forecasts, and executive‑level dashboards; support monthly progress reports and client presentations.
    • Track contingencies, commitments, and cost impacts across packages or phases; contribute to value engineering and design optimization initiatives.
    • Support risk analysis and mitigation planning for cost‑related impacts; maintain and update commercial risk registers.
    • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, build strong stakeholder relationships, and participate in governance meetings.
    • Help implement and improve cost management tools, templates, and reporting standards; ensure compliance with internal financial systems and regulatory requirements.
    • Manage final accounting processes, post‑contract audits, and lessons‑learned reviews; contribute to continuous improvement and training documentation.
    • SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, where applicable.

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or a related field; graduate degree preferred.
    • 3–6 years of experience in cost management or project controls within the construction industry, ideally supporting medium to large‑scale projects (data centers, high‑tech, industrial preferred).
    • Construction consultancy experience strongly preferred.
    • Strong knowledge of cost management processes, including change order review, pay application validation, cash flow forecasting, and cost reporting.
    • Familiarity with procurement strategies, commercial management of contracts, and different procurement routes; exposure to value engineering and risk management.
    • RICS accreditation or progress toward certification is a plus.
    • Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications for cost analysis; knowledge of MEP systems beneficial.
    • Proficiency in cost management tools and software; strong Excel and data analysis skills for detailed cost modeling.
    • Excellent communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills; comfortable working in fast‑paced environments with multiple priorities.
