• Support material forecasting, spend tracking, and burn-down reporting.
• Build and maintain trackers, forecasting tools, KPI dashboards, and look-ahead schedules.
• Collaborate with Engineering Coordinators on LFT/HH adjustments and project updates.
• Ensure accurate documentation within ARK or related CRM/project systems.
• Identify risks, bottlenecks, or delays and communicate impacts to engineering leadership.

• Coordinate with local stakeholders to ensure dependencies are met and deadlines are not missed.

• Comfortable building trackers, dashboards, KPI reports, and forecasting models.
