Define the project charter and develop scope of work, budget, schedule, procurement and delivery strategies, and cash flow.

Lead bid leveling and participate in negotiating contract terms and commercial conditions with consultants, contractors, and vendors. Own project budget and schedule end-to-end, developing and managing cost estimates, tracking spend and progress against approved budgets and timelines, and reporting variances to leadership with corrective action plans to bring projects back to plan. Manage the change control process by assessing change requests for impacts to scope, budget, schedule, quality, and risk, securing approvals, issuing change orders, and formalizing all changes within agreed timeframes. Administer project financial workflows for purchasing, change orders, and payments, working in conjunction with Accounts Payable and FP&A to maintain accurate project accounting and cash flow and ensure timely payment to consultants and vendors. Identify project risks and develop mitigation and contingency plans, partnering with internal stakeholders and consultant teams to maintain the project risk register and monitor mitigation treatments through to resolution.
