Project Controls Analyst I/II

KVP Energy Services•Rhome, TX

About The Position

KVP Energy Services is hiring a Project Controls Analyst to independently own the Project Controls function on assigned projects. This role is available at either the Analyst I or Analyst II level, depending on the candidate's experience. Analyst I is suitable for those earlier in their project controls careers, while Analyst II is for those with more hands-on ownership experience. The core expectation for both levels is accurate data, delivered on time, with proactive identification of issues. The scope of responsibility scales with the level, ranging from managing Tier 3 projects with growing exposure to Tier 2, up to independently managing the full metric suite on Tier 2 projects and supporting Tier 1 projects.

Requirements

Analyst I: 1–3 years in project controls, cost engineering, or a related project support function.
Analyst II: 3–5 years, including demonstrated ownership of the full metric suite on at least one mid-size project.
Analyst I: working proficiency in Spectrum and our timekeeping systems; intermediate Excel required.
Analyst II: strong proficiency in Spectrum, working familiarity with Primavera P6 or MS Project, advanced Excel required.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, finance, business, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree.
Analyst I: AACEI Certified Cost Technician (CCT) or PMI's CAPM preferred, not required.
Analyst II: CCT or CAPM preferred; progress toward PMI-SP or CCP encouraged.

Responsibilities

Own Spectrum data entry and weekly reconciliation for assigned projects (Tier 3 independently; Tier 2 with growing independence as an Analyst II).
Confirm production quantities are recorded on every timesheet before accepting the data as complete.
Establish and maintain the Day One Budget in Spectrum, keeping quantities, dollars, and labor/equipment hours current, and confirming it traces back to the original estimate.
Produce the core Project Controls metrics — Manhour KPI, Labor CPI, Budget vs. Forecast Variance, and Change Exposure — on a regular weekly/monthly cadence, with increasing independence at the II level.
Update the Estimate at Completion (EAC) and ensure it reflects actual field performance, not just the original budget.
Maintain the live change log for assigned projects, logging and tracking change orders (ICOs) as they're raised.
Prepare and distribute routine performance reporting — actuals vs. budget, change log summaries — for the Project Manager and, at the II level, the broader project team.
Flag data anomalies and incomplete timesheets to the Project Manager promptly, and support quantifying cost/schedule impact for changes.
Participate in and, at the II level, represent Project Controls across all core project controls processes on assigned projects, from pre-execution handover through project close.
Build working knowledge of higher-tier requirements in preparation for advancement, and support Tier 1 dedicated Cost Controllers during peak workload periods.
