  • Assist in the preparation of detailed cost plans, estimates, and budgets aligned with project scope and client expectations.
  • Monitor and manage project costs, including tracking actuals vs. forecasts, identifying variances, and recommending corrective actions.
  • Review and negotiate change orders, ensuring proper documentation, cost validation, and alignment with contractual terms.
  • Collaborate with design consultants, engineers, and contractors to validate cost estimates and ensure consistency with design intent and construction feasibility.
  • Prepare and present regular cost reports, forecasts, and executive summaries to internal stakeholders and clients.
  • Track and manage contingency usage, commitments, and cost impacts across multiple packages or phases.
  • Participate in procurement activities, including bid analysis, scope reviews, and contractor negotiations.
  • Maintain and update benchmarking data, historical cost records, and lessons learned to support future project planning.
  • Contribute to value engineering and design optimization exercises to identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with internal financial systems, client-specific requirements, and applicable regulatory controls.
  • Support the development and improvement of internal cost management tools, templates, and processes.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, contractors, vendors, and internal project teams.
  • SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or a related field. 36 years of relevant experience in cost-focused project controls or cost management. Experience with large-scale, mission-critical construction projects (e.g., data centers, high-tech, industrial). Construction consultancy experience is preferred. Strong background in cost management, budgeting, financial reporting, and cost control systems. Experience with procurement strategies and commercial management of contractor / vendor contracts. RICS accreditation or working toward it is advantageous. Excellent communication, collaboration, and negotiation skills. Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
