- Monthly performance reporting.
- Verify cost baselines and forecasts, bridging the gap between tendering and execution.

- Serve as a finance business partner, advising cross-functional teams on financial strategy.
- Uphold financial governance, compliance and reporting standards throughout the project lifecycle.
- Challenge assumptions to safeguard project financial health and anticipate risks.
