Senior EPC Cost Manager
Position Summary
The Senior EPC Cost Manager serves as the primary liaison between the Operations/Execution (project-based) cost team and the corporate cost and finance organization. The role ensures project cost data, forecasts, and reporting stay aligned with corporate financial systems, budgets, and controls — reconciling project-controls cost information (commitments, accruals, actuals, and estimate-at-completion forecasts) with the general ledger and corporate reporting, and maintaining consistent cost standards, governance, and communication across both organizations.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary interface between project/execution cost teams and corporate cost and finance, translating project-controls data into corporate financial reporting and vice versa.
- Reconcile project cost data (commitments, accruals, actuals, ETC/EAC forecasts) with the corporate general ledger and financial statements; investigate and resolve variances.
- Align project cost forecasts and cash flow with corporate budgeting, FP&A, and capital-planning cycles.
- Establish and maintain consistent cost coding and WBS/CBS-to-chart-of-accounts mapping across execution and corporate systems (e.g., Oracle Unifier and Oracle Fusion).
- Consolidate multi-project cost data into portfolio-level reporting for executive and corporate finance stakeholders.
- Support month-end and period-end close through accurate project accruals, cost transfers, and capitalization.
- Drive governance, process, and controls improvements that increase the accuracy and timeliness of cost information across both teams.
- Partner with project controls managers, accounting, procurement, and treasury to maintain a single source of truth for cost.
- Provide analysis and recommendations to leadership on cost performance, risks, and trends at both the project and corporate levels.
