• Track and challenge capital spend (factory construction, equipment and tooling) from approved budget through to commissioning
• Build bottoms-up cost models from engineering inputs and new systems that show how each program is performing against its contract, its baseline and the company plan
• Evaluate in-flight decisions such as scope changes, equipment substitutions, scheduling, and make-vs-buys
• Build and own the view of each program’s financials. Work with Accounting to make sure costs are captured, coded, and capitalized correctly
