• Support sourcing across Cost Plus, GMP, Lump Sum, Unit-Rate/SOV, and T&M arrangements, including assessment of fees/markups, blocking issues, contingency, LD/bonus mechanisms, bonding/insurance, payment terms, and schedule impacts.

Cost Modeling, Benchmarking & Risk

• Develop and maintain should-cost and clean-sheet models for fab, cleanroom, chemical building, and process-utility scopes including labor, materials, equipment, indirects, overhead/fee, contingency, and blocking issues.
• Build/update benchmarking baselines to compare cost competitiveness across regions and project types.

Cost Analytics, Reporting & Insights

• Analyze cost drivers and variances; identify risks, opportunities, and market trends for mega-capital programs.
• Prepare reports, dashboards, risk heatmaps, and scenario analyses with Excel, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Snowflake, Python (or similar).

Performance Tracking, Data Integrity & Governance
