  • Review contractor and consultant schedules, progress reports, cost reports, and performance submissions.
  • Ensure consistency and accuracy of progress reporting across multiple contractors, consultants, and project workstreams.
  • Identify trends and potential issues early and provide recommendations for corrective and preventive actions.
  • Support project leadership in developing recovery strategies for delayed or underperforming packages.
  • Coordinate with project teams to establish appropriate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and performance dashboards.
  • Ensure effective integration between planning, cost, risk, commercial, procurement, engineering, and construction functions.
  • Lead and mentor Project Controls Engineers, Planners, Cost Engineers, and other project controls personnel.
  • Support senior management and the client with strategic project performance analysis and decision-making.
  • Ensure project controls documentation, data, and reporting comply with established governance and quality requirements.

Requirements
