What you need

  • 8+ years of progressive experience in construction cost engineering, change management, forecasting, cost control, project controls, commercial cost management, quantity surveying, or a related discipline.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, Finance, Accounting, Engineering Management, or a related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience evaluating construction changes and maintaining forecasts on large capital projects.
  • Strong knowledge of change, trend, and contingency management; cost forecasting; variance analysis; and EAC development.
  • Ability to independently evaluate contractor submissions and identify scope gaps, unsupported or duplicated costs, incomplete documentation, and commercially unreasonable assumptions.
  • Experience maintaining change-order, trend, contingency, allowance, exposure, and forecast records and incorporating risk-weighted pending or unresolved changes into forecasts.

Nice to have

  • Experience with hyperscale data centers, mission-critical facilities, or MEP-intensive programs in an owner’s representative, consultancy, general contractor, EPC, quantity surveying, or major capital-program environment.
  • Experience evaluating changes under GMP, lump-sum, design-build, CMAR, cost-plus, or EPC delivery models.
  • Experience assessing schedule-related costs, extended general conditions, acceleration, disruption, productivity impacts, and claims.
  • Experience with EVM, integrated cost-schedule-risk analysis, cash flow, probabilistic forecasting, claims, allowances, contingency drawdown, retention release, final account negotiation, and unresolved changes.
  • AACE Certified Cost Professional, RICS, PMP, or equivalent certification.

Worth weighing

  • Position is on-site in Corsicana or Sweetwater, TX.
  • No sponsorship for employment is offered, including H-1B visa sponsorship or transfer.
  • The role does not own the full monthly project cost report, which may limit scope of responsibility.
  • Experience with specific software tools is required, which may require additional training for some candidates.
