Job Summary:

As a Cost Control Manager, you will be responsible for building out a cost control function. This includes designing and implementing processes, deploying cost control software, integrating with SAP and accounting, training teams, and establishing a scalable governance model across the renewable energy project portfolio.

This is a hands-on role, not a maintenance role. You will architect systems, shape culture, and ensure financial transparency and predictability across all projects.

The position is based in Downtown Houston with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.

Key Responsibilities:

Build the Cost Control Function & Governance:

  • Design and deploy standardized cost control processes across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Define cost breakdown structures (CBS) aligned with WBS, contracts, procurement, and SAP.
  • Establish governance routines: budget approval, forecasting cycles, EAC reviews, variance analyses, accrual processes, and change control workflows.
  • Create cost management playbooks, templates, SOPs, and training materials.

Implement Cost Control Systems & Tools:

  • Lead evaluation, selection, and deployment of an enterprise cost control solution (EcoSys, Primavera Cost, SAP PS, or equivalent).
  • Integrate cost systems with SAP, procurement, contract management, and accounting.
  • Build automated reporting dashboards and portfolio-level cost analytics.

Interface with Accounting, Finance & SAP:

  • Define and own the integration between project cost data and SAP financials.
  • Align WBS, cost centers, GL accounts, commitments, and accrual processes.
  • Ensure consistent, reconciled data between project controls and corporate finance.
  • Establish month-end closing routines and cost accounting alignment.

Training & Capability Development:

  • Train project managers, construction managers, engineers, and new cost controllers on cost management concepts, tools, and standards.
  • Build a repeatable onboarding and certification track for new hires.
  • Raise the competency level across the organization with ongoing coaching.

Portfolio Cost Analytics & Reporting:

  • Build enterprise cost dashboards with forecasting, burn rate, cashflow, trend analysis, and productivity metrics.
  • Provide meaningful insights—not just reports—to senior leadership.
  • Identify systemic risks, cost drivers, and opportunities for improvement across the portfolio.

Support Project Execution:

  • Lead cost components of budget development during early estimating and pre‑construction.
  • Analyze cost impacts of schedule shifts, change orders, variations, and field conditions.
  • Monitor commitments, accruals, invoices, and actuals with commercial and finance teams.
  • Ensure projects maintain accurate EAC forecasts and contingency drawdown.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years in project cost control, cost engineering, or project controls.
  • Proven experience building cost control systems, processes, and teams.
  • Advanced expertise with SAP (WBS, cost centers, commitments, GL, accruals).
  • Experience with large EPC, construction, infrastructure, or energy projects.
  • Strong financial analytics, forecasting, and variance analysis capabilities.
  • Prior experience implementing cost control software (EcoSys, Oracle, Primavera, SAP PS).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Construction Management, Finance, Business Degree or Accounting.
  • Experience in renewable energy or large-scale infrastructure projects.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.
