Cost Analyst - Senior Data Center Facilities Development Manager

Overview

This role supports a complex construction cost program for an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data center campus, helping project leaders understand cost performance, evaluate proposed changes, and make informed decisions to protect investment and support delivery.

You will work with construction, commercial, project controls, and finance teams to review developer change order estimates, validate monthly financial reporting, and assess forecasts against project scope and progress. Responsibilities include investigating discrepancies, identifying emerging cost risks, and translating detailed analysis into practical recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Review developer change order estimates for scope, quantities, labor rates, productivity, material and equipment pricing, subcontractor quotations, and contractual markups.
• Identify unsupported charges, duplicate costs, scope gaps, and pricing discrepancies; prepare findings and recommendations to support commercial negotiations and approval decisions.
• Validate monthly developer financial reports, including budgets, commitments, actual expenditures, accruals, contingency, cash flow, and forecast cost at completion.
• Reconcile financial submissions with prior reporting periods, approved changes, and supporting documentation; investigate variances and obtain clear explanations for material cost movements.
• Assess forecast assumptions and estimates to complete against remaining scope, procurement status, construction progress, and known project risks.
• Review payment applications and supporting documentation for alignment with contractual requirements and verified progress, coordinating with construction and commercial teams.
• Maintain change order and cost exposure logs, distinguishing approved changes from pending proposals and unresolved items.
• Monitor contingency usage, allowances, and budget transfers to identify emerging cost pressures and prevent double counting.
• Support analysis of equipment, logistics, acceleration, delay, and rework costs; coordinate questions of contractual responsibility with commercial leadership.
• Prepare concise cost reports highlighting financial performance, forecast risks, outstanding discrepancies, and recommended actions.
• Track developer responses to review comments and follow assigned cost issues through resolution, escalating complex matters as appropriate.
• Maintain traceable records supporting financial reviews, approvals, internal controls, and audit readiness.
• Collaborate with construction, project controls, procurement, commercial, and finance teams to improve reporting accuracy and strengthen project cost controls.
