Lead cost forecasting activities and provide analysis regarding cost performance, variance drivers, and emerging risks.
Support implementation and management of project change control processes and ensure approved changes are reflected within project baselines.
Develop monthly cost reports, dashboards, and performance analyses for Study Managers, functional leadership, and governance teams.
Apply earned value management and performance measurement techniques where appropriate.

Integrated of Project Controls disciplines

Ensure close integration between estimating, scheduling, risk management, change management, and performance management functions.
Partner with Planning and Project Risk Management specialists to develop integrated project baselines.

Ensure cost assumptions, schedule assumptions, and project risks are aligned and reflected consistently across project controls deliverables.
Provide cost inputs supporting economic evaluations, business cases, and project investment submissions.

Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain Canadian estimating benchmarks, historical cost databases, productivity metrics, and cost intelligence.
Benchmark project estimates against internal and external sources to improve estimate accuracy and competitiveness.
Identify opportunities to enhance project controls tools, systems, automation, digital solutions, and applied AI capabilities.
Collaborate with global project controls teams to share best practices, lessons learned, and standardized methodologies.

Experience

Minimum 15 years of progressive experience in estimating, project controls, cost control, or capital project delivery.
Extensive experience supporting large-scale capital projects within mining, metals, energy, infrastructure, industrial, or other asset-intensive industries.
