Construction Cost Analyst

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Description (which is responsibilities), Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Additional Information (maybe not needed), About AECOM (company description), What makes AECOM a great place to work (benefits/culture), Compensation range. We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe a brief description of role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred? But we have both minimum and preferred; we could combine under Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have both minimum requirements and preferred qualifications. Could put minimum under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills maybe from proficiency etc. Benefits from AECOM benefits description. Pay from compensation range. Schedule maybe not present (no schedule info) so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. Company Description: "Work with Us. Change the World. At AECOM, we're delivering a better world...." That's company description; could be part of About the role? Actually About the role could be a brief summary of role: "AECOM is seeking a Construction Cost Analyst to be based in San Diego, California, supporting Capital Improvement Program (CIP) construction projects within an airport design and construction environment. This position will independently perform detailed cost analysis, contract administration and financial control activities supporting complex construction projects." That's from Job Description first paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Key responsibilities" bullet list (the long list). We'll need to convert each bullet into

. Ensure we keep all details. Requirements: Minimum requirements: "BA/BS + 2 years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education; Valid California Class C driver’s license and ability to meet applicable driver qualification requirements; As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must successfully complete required substance abuse screening and satisfy applicable airport security and access requirements; US Citizenship is Required." Qualifications: Preferred qualifications list: many items. We'll list them. Skills: Could be derived from proficiency etc: "Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications; Experience with PMWeb or a comparable project management information system; Experience using Bluebeam Revu to review construction progress invoices and supporting documentation; Familiarity with Adobe Acrobat Sign or comparable electronic signature platforms; Strong analytical and organizational skills with demonstrated attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple cost-related activities with limited daily supervision; Effective communication and collaboration skills when working with project managers, contractors, consultants, Procurement and Accounting teams." But some of these already appear in preferred qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can put skills section separate, but we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to follow headings: we have Skills heading; we can list skills not already covered elsewhere. But many of those are in preferred qualifications. Could we move some to Skills and keep others under Qualifications? Might be okay as long as we preserve all info; duplication is not prohibited but might be considered unnecessary. Safer to not duplicate: we can put under Qualifications the preferred qualifications list (including experience, knowledge, etc.) and under Skills we list the specific technical proficiencies and soft skills not already captured. But many are overlapping. Let's see. Preferred qualifications list includes: - Experience with accounts payable, construction cost control, project accounting and financial reporting. - Experience reviewing contractor and consultant invoices for proper coding, supporting documentation and contractual compliance. - Knowledge of Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build construction contracts, including payment terms, schedules of value, change orders, allowances, contingencies and retainage. - Experience processing construction progress invoices, change orders, contract commitments, task authorizations, amendments and encumbrance releases. - Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications. - Experience with PMWeb or a comparable project management information system. - Experience using Bluebeam Revu to review construction progress invoices and supporting documentation. - Familiarity with Adobe Acrobat Sign or comparable electronic signature platforms. - Experience identifying and resolving project cost, accounting or systems-integration discrepancies. - Knowledge of project accruals, journal entries, reconciliations, cost reclassifications and project closeout processes. - Strong analytical and organizational skills with demonstrated attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple cost-related activities with limited daily supervision. - Effective communication and collaboration skills when working with project managers, contractors, consultants, Procurement and Accounting teams. Thus all skills are covered there. So we could omit a separate Skills section, or we could keep Skills but then we would duplicate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to not create a Skills section if its content is already covered under Qualifications. However we need to decide if we should still include Skills heading with content that is not already elsewhere. Since all skill content is in Qualifications, we could omit Skills. Benefits: from "About AECOM" paragraph about benefits: "AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits to meet the diverse needs of our employees. Depending on your employment status, AECOM benefits may include medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, disability benefits, paid time off, leaves of absences, voluntary benefits, perks, flexible work options, well-being resources, employee assistance program, business travel insurance, service recognition awards, retirement savings plan, and employee stock purchase plan." Also "What makes AECOM a great place to work" includes culture etc. Could be part of Benefits or separate? But we have Benefits heading; we can include that description. The "What makes AECOM a great place to work" is more about culture, not benefits per se. Could be omitted or maybe we could include under Benefits as additional info. But we should preserve all substantive information; we could include that under Benefits as well, but it's not strictly benefits. However we have no other heading for culture. Could we put under About the role? Not ideal. Perhaps we can create a section "Benefits" and include both benefits and culture description. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have specific content about benefits and also about what makes AECOM a great place to work. So we can include Benefits section with that combined info. Pay: compensation range: "$80000 to $100000". Also mention "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location. The range for this position is $80000 to $100000." Also later "Compensation: USD 80000 - USD 100000 - yearly". We'll include that. Schedule: no schedule info, so omit. Now About the role: we need a brief summary. Use the first paragraph of Job Description: "AECOM is seeking a Construction Cost Analyst to be based in San Diego, California, supporting Capital Improvement Program (CIP) construction projects within an airport design and construction environment. This position will independently perform detailed cost analysis, contract administration and financial control activities supporting complex construction projects." We could also add that it supports both DBB and DB contracts etc. But that is more responsibility. We'll keep About the role short. Now Responsibilities: list all bullet points from "Key responsibilities". Let's extract them exactly as given: - Analyze, review and reconcile contractor and consultant pay applications against contracts, agreements and established policies and procedures. - Identify invoice discrepancies and cost allocation issues and provide supporting information to project managers to facilitate resolution. - Review, update and distribute project cost reports, records and specialized spreadsheets and verify the accuracy of reported costs. - Manage and validate contractor and consultant progress invoices, including schedules of value, base contract amounts, change orders, allowances, contingencies and retainage. - Verify that invoice validation and payment processes comply with applicable DBB and DB contract requirements. - Process contractor change order requests and coordinate with project managers regarding documentation, bundling requirements and applicable approval thresholds. - Monitor authorized change order percentages and amounts to help ensure changes remain within approved limits and timelines. - Coordinate with Procurement to align change order approvals with monthly progress invoices and applicable payment deadlines. - Support contractor onboarding for CIP projects and help ensure cost management procedures align with applicable contract terms and conditions. - Develop cost management procedures and presentation materials explaining construction contract cost processes. - Serve as a liaison between project teams and general contractors to support timely processing of progress invoices, retainage releases and change orders. - Manage contract requisitions, task authorizations, commitments, amendments and related financial transactions. - Prepare monthly project accruals, journal entries, cost reconciliations and cost reclassifications. - Coordinate with Accounting on year-end closing requirements, project financial information and audit support. - Provide financial control for on-call consultant agreements, including task-level notices to proceed, commitments and transfers to project-specific cost groups. - Support project closeout reconciliations, cost variance analysis and resolution of system or cost discrepancies in coordination with senior cost analysts and project management teams. We need to ensure we keep all details. Now Requirements (minimum): list: - BA/BS + 2 years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education - Valid California Class C driver’s license and ability to meet applicable driver qualification requirements. - As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must successfully complete required substance abuse screening and satisfy applicable airport security and access requirements. - US Citizenship is Required. Now Qualifications (preferred): list as above. Now Benefits: combine the benefits paragraph and the "What makes AECOM a great place to work" paragraph. Benefits paragraph: "AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits to meet the diverse needs of our employees. Depending on your employment status, AECOM benefits may include medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, disability benefits, paid time off, leaves of absences, voluntary benefits, perks, flexible work options, well-being resources, employee assistance program, business travel insurance, service recognition awards, retirement savings plan, and employee stock purchase plan." What makes AECOM a great place to work: "You will be part of a global team that champions your growth and career ambitions.

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe in your potential and are here to help you achieve it. All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines." But we need to remove EEO boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the EEO statement lines. So we can keep the rest but remove "As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe in your potential and are here to help you achieve it. All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines." That's EEO boilerplate. So we omit those sentences. Thus Benefits section content: combine the benefits paragraph and the great place to work paragraph minus EEO lines. Now Pay: we need to include the compensation range and note that it's based on education etc. We'll include that. Now ensure we don't include any navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, etc. Also remove "ReqID: J10159723 Business Line: Transportation Business Group:
