Turner & Townsend are seeking an ambitious Project Controls Analyst to support a prestigious technology client’s rapidly expanding data center infrastructure program. This role is a unique opportunity to be a key contributor to the future of technology, partnering with global construction teams and cross-functional stakeholders (Analytics, Procurement, Finance) to drive cost management, financial forecasting, risk identification, and program governance across mission-critical projects.

  • Provide preconstruction support during project approval phases, including historical cost analysis, budget baselining, and development of annual contractor purchase orders.
  • Support schedule/cost alignment for phased campus builds (including offsite infrastructure dependencies, roadway realignments, and permitting timelines).
  • Manage internal project budgets and schedule of values using project management software for monthly financial reporting across multiple projects.
  • Oversee external project budgets via external platforms (commitment management, change management, document control).
  • Facilitate change order routing and review, including content analysis and executive approvals.
  • Ensure accurate quarterly accruals for all active purchase orders; coordinate with vendors and Finance.
  • Lead monthly forecasting and cash flow analysis, identify variances, and prepare executive-level reports.
  • Maintain and update risk registers (internal and contractor), including contingency evaluations.
  • Conduct monthly project financial health reviews using dashboards, budget software, schedule comparisons, and productivity reports.
  • Collaborate with site Schedulers to ensure alignment between financial forecasts and schedule updates (P6).
  • Track impacts related to utility planning (power/water), grid capacity constraints, and long-lead equipment delivery.
  • Support development of scenario analyses (e.g., phasing strategies, resource constraints, risk exposure).
  • Partner daily with project managers, contractors, suppliers, and internal teams (Analytics, Procurement, Finance).
  • Prepare and deliver clear presentations on project health, risks, and performance to leadership.
  • Assist with programmatic initiatives, training, and process alignment to drive consistency across sites.
  • SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Cost Management, Quantity Surveying, or related field.
  • Experience in construction project controls on large, multi-project programs.
  • Proven experience in forecasting and change management on large-scale construction projects.
  • Ability to clearly communicate financial status and schedule details across multiple construction sites.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and analytical skills.
  • Proficiency with Primavera P6, Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, and cost control tools (e.g., eBuilder, Procore, or similar).
  • Ability to interpret schedules, compare baseline vs. progress, and connect schedule impacts to cost forecasts.
  • Experience with data center construction or mission-critical infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with utility-intensive programs (power/water), grid constraints, and offsite infrastructure dependencies.
  • Comfort working within phased, campus-scale programs (new build + retrofit), with AI-focused infrastructure considerations.
  • Experience with Unifier is a plus.
