Job description

Hill International is recruiting a cost analyst for capital project delivery work in San Jose, California. The posting states the position is full time and onsite. The work is cost reporting and cost control on construction programmes.

The analyst prepares cost reports and schedules, and uses work breakdown structures to organise scope-based activities against their budgets, commitments, expenditures and forecast costs. The advert asks the analyst to separate budget appropriation and contract authority from funds actually secured and committed, and to track both against project progress. Change control sits inside the role.

The analyst coordinates the Change Control Board and manages the review and routing of construction change orders. Consultant and contractor progress payments are reviewed for consistency with the organisation's own procedures, and the analyst helps to write the procedures for cost control, reporting and scheduling. Reporting extends to grant returns and to explaining which fund sources may be applied to which work.

Hill asks for a degree in engineering, construction management, architecture or a related field, and two to five years of cost engineering experience on engineering and construction projects. The stated salary range is 90,000 to 104,000 US dollars a year, which the employer says is settled by qualifications, experience and work location. No closing date is given.
