The position will also include:
Developing, coordinating, and quality-assuring forecasts in close dialogue with the project organization.
Analyzing deviations against budget, forecasts, and annual plans, and identifying causes and financial consequences.
Developing and applying structures and methods for financial monitoring in projects (e.g., contract changes such as change orders, as well as risks, uncertainties, indices, and quantities).
Quality-assuring financial materials for reporting and decision-making.
Contributing financial analyses to support project governance and decision-making forums.
Collaborating with project organizations and support functions, and presenting financial analyses in meetings and forums as needed.
In your role, you will also work on business development by developing and improving processes, methods, and approaches within financial management and project monitoring. You will work closely with experienced specialists and project managers and will have the opportunity to deepen your expertise in financial management, project monitoring, and business development. The role offers significant responsibility and good opportunities to influence working methods and processes within the organization.
