    • Support change management activities, including change orders, budget transfers, and evaluation of cost impacts.
    • Partner with Project Managers, Operations Directors, and technical teams to align financial performance with project execution plans.
    • Prepare accurate cost reports, dashboards, and forecasts for leadership and project stakeholders.
