About The Position

Reporting to the Manager, Sustainable Development Projects, the Project Coordinator will support the delivery and financial control for a portfolio of 40+ environmental projects by managing portfolio-level cost forecasting, budgeting and reporting, and by promoting consistent project controls, tools and processes. The role partners closely with Project Managers, Project Directors and Finance to improve cost performance, reporting accuracy and project delivery across the portfolio.
In this role, you will support improvements to cost management tools and processes, including earned value management, estimating standards, and risk-based analysis techniques (e.g., Monte Carlo).
