Responsibilities

• Act as the day-to-day execution partner keeping the defined program of works moving — interpreting the agreed scope and plan, coordinating the activities to deliver it, and keeping all operational detail organized and current.

• Proactively identify and escalate risks, blockers, and interdependencies through the EOS Service Delivery Manager to the client, and recommend mitigation options for the client to decide.
• Track and report spend, commitments, and forecast changes against the per-project hardware budgets we've allocated and handed over, giving us clear, current visibility of where each project stands versus the approved forecast.
• Maintain accurate project-level cost tracking for each active project, and flag spend variances, overruns, or scope-driven changes to us early so we can decide on any action.
• Prepare bills of materials (BOMs) and cost summaries for our review and approval.
• Support preparation of cost-to-complete forecasts and cost summaries as we request them.
