Qualifications

• 3–7 years in construction, typically progressing from Project Engineer;
• Demonstrated ownership of cost coding, quantity tracking, forecasting and change documentation;
• Working command of subcontract administration, procurement and pay application review;
• Able to read and interpret civil, structural, mechanical, piping and electrical drawings, isometrics, P&IDs and specifications;

• Report on delegated scope at the weekly project meeting: cost position, progress against plan, open issues and risks;
• Escalate anything outside the delegated scope to the Project Manager rather than absorbing it;
• Cost & Reporting: Maintain cost coding, quantity roll-up and earned-value reporting for the delegated scope;
• Prepare the monthly cost forecast and estimate at completion for the delegated scope; the Project Manager consolidates and owns the project total;
• Prepare the monthly accrual and progress billing backup for Project Manager review and submission;
• Review and approve timecards, vendor invoices and subcontractor pay applications within the delegated scope and authority threshold;
• Flag cost trends and budget exposure to the Project Manager early — no month-end surprises.
