  • Communicate pricing and material changes to internal stakeholders
  • Administer contract timelines and ensure compliance with the scopes of work
  • Conduct cost analysis, manage budget revisions, and review plan change impacts
  • Prepare month-end budget reports, including spend, variances, and change orders
  • Participate in field walks to identify cost savings, specification changes, or quality improvements
