• Own timely issuance of all project reporting (cost, schedule, progress) and use that data to help refine overall project strategy; support district- and sector-wide reporting alignment initiatives (e.g., automated sector reporting, HSE/Quality/Workforce/Materials/Scheduling roll-ups) and Power BI cost-forecasting dashboards.
• Supervise, coach, and mentor a multi-disciplinary project controls team (scheduling, estimating, cost control, subcontracts, document control) as well as project engineers and IPCs performing controls functions; support onboarding, training, and succession planning for project controls talent across the district.
• Serve as the district subject-matter expert for project controls systems and ensure consistency and adherence to site and district projectcontrols policies, procedures, and standards; recommend updates to district controls processes and support system-training gaps identified by project teams.
