• Monitor and report on project performance, including cost, schedule and progress against baselines
• Undertake variance analysis and support corrective actions where required
• Apply Earned Value Management in line with Australian Standards
• Support contract administration, including scope tracking and variations
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to a strong project controls culture

• Strong capability across cost control, scheduling, forecasting and project performance reporting
• Experience with fee estimates, tenders, contracts, claims and variations
