JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

I worked as the LSTK EPC contractor for construction of LNG Train in Damietta, Egypt.  Project was a JV of KBR, JGC, Tecnicas Reunidas, and M.W. Kellogg. This project was extremely schedule driven, and the challenge was to reduce project costs without impacting the overall progress.  I did this through rigorous change management, detailed cost control down to WBS+5 level, and a very indepth manpower plan to ensure the right mix of talent stayed on the project.

Working in the home office, I provided cost control and subcontractor management support to the construction department of the home office.  During this period, in addition to cost control functions such as budget preparation and cost estimating, I also performed quantity surveying, preparing BoQ from measurements on site drawings to prepare applications for payments, Subcontractor management including drafting and award of subcontracts, and directly supervising several subcontracts for projects under execution.  Additionally, I reviewed and redacted technical requisitions to brin

As Cost Control Manager, I was responsible for establishing an estimate for the entire project, coordinate payments within the JV partners via a participative loan scheme, and all aspects of cost control.  Due to continuous cost control, realistic risk analysis, and in-depth claims management, cost predictions and estimates performed prior to award of major contracts were sufficient for the project to finish on time and within budget. 

Specific duties included:

Planning & Cost Control

Project reporting, cash flow, forecast, valuation
