• Establish and maintain project controls procedures, service level agreements, responsibility matrices, and governance documentation to ensure clarity and alignment across internal teams and third‑party partners.
• Oversee and execute core project controls activities—including cost control (VOWD, cost reporting, change review, cashflow), schedule management, risk management, change control, and periodic reporting.
• Lead and/or participate in interactive planning and risk identification sessions, ensuring outputs are translated into practical tools, visual management dashboards, and updated project plans.
• Review and validate key project control deliverables to ensure data accuracy, meaningful insights, and effective decision support.
• Coordinate closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., Finance, Procurement, Estimating) to ensure transparent performance reporting, robust funding documentation, contract alignment, and seamless pre‑contract support.
• Manage resource planning activities and ensure timely onboarding of third‑party project controls providers into relevant systems and tools.
• Assess engineer and contractor proposals, change notices, schedules, and performance to ensure best value and alignment with project objectives.
• Prepare owner estimates, lead estimate review meetings, and support contract and purchase order reconciliation.
• Champion continuous improvement by contributing to lessons learned and quality assurance efforts throughout the project journey.
• Be a visible leader onsite, monitoring contractor progress and driving accountability for schedule, cost, risk, and performance outcomes.
