Project Control Specialist

Description

This is a dynamic role where you will get to shape standardized tools and governance across the company.

This pivotal role will provide the strategic clarity that guides our project management teams.

• Risk & Scenario Analysis: Work with project teams to identify, track, and mitigate project risks into quantified cost impacts and run “what-if” scenarios to support decision-making.
• Schedule & Cost Control: Develop, update, and monitor project schedules, track earned value metrics (EV, SPI, CPI), and identify trends to forecast costs and schedules.
• Process Governance: Assist in developing and implementing standardized tools, templates, and best practices for controls governance, and support change control and claims management.
• Financial Tracking: Maintain budget logs, change order registers, and commitment tracking. Validate vendor invoices and progress claims for accuracy, analyze cost variances, and support cash flow projections, contingency tracking, and cost-to-complete reporting.
• Reporting & Communication: Prepare weekly and monthly Power BI dashboards and executive summaries. Collaborate with PMs and other key teams to ensure data is accurate, timely, and consistent across projects.
