  • Collect, clean, reconcile, and organize data from internal teams and vendors (deliverables lists, RFIs, equipment lists/MTOs, expediting, FAT/SAT, shipment readiness).
  • Set up WBS/CBS, calendars, codes, and progress rules of credit; establish and manage baselines.
  • Support cost control in Excel (budgets, commitments, forecasts, contingencies) and deliver monthly cost/schedule reports.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Project Controls Manager Skills and Abilities:

  • Analytical rigor with a strong ownership mindset.
  • Collaborative vendor/contractor engagement and situational communication.

  • Proactive risk identification and disciplined change control.
  • Strong facilitation and communication skills, including concise variance explanations.

  • Intermediate to expert MS Excel skills (advanced formulas, pivots, lookups/index-match, data modeling, probabilistic models).
  • Practical understanding of Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication, Logistics, Construction, and Commissioning.
  • Strong information management skills: able to collect and organize data from multiple sources into clear trackers and reports.
