- Ensure forecasts are updated in line with scope changes, change orders, and project events
- Review WBS cost performance against budget
- Provide input to project cost follow-up sheets using SAP reports
- Update daily cost follow-up sheets with actual and committed costs from SAP extracts
- Support month-end cost reporting (Project Cost Report)
- Support the Monthly Project Status Report with the Project Control Lead prior to submission to the Project Manager
Requirements

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with solid budgeting and accounting fundamentals
- Confident communicator with the ability to challenge and influence stakeholders
