Working closely with project controls, project management, finance, engineering, construction, and technology stakeholders, this role translates business needs across cost, schedule, budgeting, forecasting, change, and performance reporting into clear requirements, functional designs, and implementable solutions. The role supports initiatives from discovery through testing, deployment, adoption, and operational handover, and requires strong client communication, stakeholder engagement, and familiarity with capital project concepts and terminology. • Business Analysis & Requirements Management • Lead discovery workshops, interviews, and working sessions with project controls, project management, finance, engineering, construction, and technology stakeholders. • Elicit, analyze, validate, prioritize, and document business, functional, non-functional, reporting, integration, data, and security requirements. • Develop current-state and future-state process maps, use cases, user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, data definitions, and requirements traceability. • Perform fit-gap and impact analyses; assess solution options and recommend approaches that balance user needs, controls, delivery effort, risk, and maintainability. • Maintain requirements, decision logs, assumptions, issues, dependencies, and change requests throughout delivery. • Capital Project Controls & Process Alignment • Analyze and map capital project processes across cost management, schedule management, capital budgeting and funding, forecasting, change control, progress measurement, and performance reporting. • Work comfortably with common project controls concepts and terminology, including work and cost breakdown structures, cost codes, budgets, commitments, actuals, accruals, forecasts, contingency, baselines, milestones, variances, cash flow, and estimate at completion. • Partner with subject matter experts to validate business rules, coding structures, approval authorities, reporting hierarchies, and data ownership. • Identify process, data, and control gaps; recommend standardized workflows and controls that improve consistency, auditability, and decision-making. • PMIS Implementation & Functional Delivery • Support end-to-end PMIS implementation and enhancement activities, including discovery, requirements, fit-gap, functional design, configuration support, testing, deployment, cutover, and hypercare. • Translate project controls and business requirements into functional specifications, workflows, configuration requirements, reports, dashboards, interfaces, and data structures. • Coordinate with product owners, configuration specialists, developers, architects, integration teams, data teams, and vendors to resolve questions and maintain alignment between business intent and delivered functionality. • Support integration and data migration requirements across PMIS, ERP/finance systems, scheduling tools, reporting platforms, document systems, and field applications. • Experience implementing or enhancing Octave Sequence (formerly EcoSys), Oracle Primavera Unifier budgeting/cost modules, Oracle Primavera P6, or comparable PMIS platforms is a strong asset. • Testing, Data & Operational Readiness • Define test strategies, scenarios, scripts, and expected results; coordinate system testing and lead or support user acceptance testing (UAT). • Maintain traceability from requirements to test evidence; triage defects, clarify expected behaviour, and support timely resolution. • Define data mapping, validation, reconciliation, and exception requirements to support accurate cost, schedule, budget, and reporting information. • Prepare operating procedures, job aids, training materials, and knowledge-transfer assets; deliver role-based training and adoption support. • Support deployment readiness, cutover, hypercare, transition to support, and post-implementation lessons learned. • Data Modelling & Project Controls Reporting • Demonstrate comfort working with structured data models, including understanding data relationships, hierarchies, granularity, reference data, and source-to-report data flows. • Support the definition and validation of reporting requirements, data mappings, business rules, measures, and key performance indicators used in capital-project reporting. • Bring practical exposure to project-controls reporting through Power BI, including dashboards and reports related to budgets, commitments, actual costs, accruals, forecasts, estimate at completion, cash flow, schedule progress, milestones, and cost or schedule variances. • Work collaboratively with project controls, finance, scheduling, PMIS, and data teams to confirm that reports are accurate, traceable, and aligned with approved project structures such as the WBS, CBS, cost codes, control accounts, and reporting periods. • Ability to interpret and validate Power BI outputs is required;
