Project Cost Controllers know better than anyone: misjudging project costs kills long-term infrastructure reliability, yet you're still expected to deliver certainty in a landscape of moving targets.
Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability.
Join AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects as a Project Cost Controller:
The scope, here, is to support high-impact energy infrastructure projects through rigorous cost planning, forecasting and communication, contributing directly to Belgium's energy transition.
The Key Responsibilities Expected From Our Consultant Might Include
Support projects through high-quality and detail-oriented execution, ensuring accuracy and meeting expectations:
* Build the project budget structure in line with the cost-management plan and WBS
* Integrate every cost element into the SAP system and keep data consistent
* Document each change analysis by creating schedule simulations
* Apply approved change requests to the budget and archive the new baselines
* Introduce and use advanced budget-estimating techniques when needed
* Propose improvements to the way projects and programmes are cost-managed
Support projects with rational and data-driven assessments of costs, quality and timelines, providing objective analyses for decision-making:
* Keep track of cost contingencies set in the cost-management plan
* Establish the cost baseline and monitor every deviation with justification
* Update and refine cost forecasts using earned-value data, challenging all inputs
* Analyse schedule and budget figures and feed the results into reports
* Perform schedule and cost impact studies for each change request
* Continuously question and verify the incoming budget inputs
Support Projects By Facilitating Communication And Reporting Between Stakeholders
* Organise meetings with budget stakeholders to gather and record cost data
* Provide monthly cost reports with baseline comparisons and KPIs to the project team
* Collect invoicing requests from contractors and suppliers and obtain payment approval
* Report periodically to Corporate Controlling departments
* Work closely with the Project Scheduler, Risk Manager and PM Officer
* Share best practices and coach team members to improve their cost estimates
* Act as the budgeting expert and champion within the project team
The Experience We Are Actively Looking For
* Expertise with MS Excel, SAP and PowerBI
* Strong background in cost management methodology
* Knowledge of infrastructure project environments
* Understanding of PMI/PMBOK practices is a plus
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to challenge budget inputs critically
* Fluency in English; knowledge of French and/or Dutch is an asset
* Valid work and residence permits for Belgium (mandatory for non-EU candidates)
* Immediate availability and presence in Belgium are preferred
Your best career choice will be one that propels you toward becoming a future intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise.
Check with AETHER if more impactful opportunities are relevant for you. For the sake of Business reactivity, priority is being given to candidates who are already living in Belgium and are available rapidly.
