• Running financial analyses — NPV, IRR, depreciation — to support project decisions
• Collaborating with engineers, project managers, and operations teams throughout every project phase
• Reviewing vendor and contractor quotes for accuracy and scope alignment
• Identifying cost‑saving opportunities and contributing to estimating process improvements

• Comfortable developing Scope of Work documents and reviewing bid packages
