• Coordinate project close-out, final cost reconciliation, contingency release, and retention of audit-ready documentation for the expansion.
• Track benefits realization for the Fourmile expansion against the approved business case, including production, cost, recovery, and economic benefits.
• Lead post-implementation reviews and post-completion reviews, documenting drivers of variance, lessons learned, and accountability for outcomes.

Continuous Improvement

• Improve cost control routines, reporting templates, dashboards, and project controls handoffs to enhance the speed, depth, and quality of expansion reporting and analysis.
• Champion the use of SAP / ERP, OneStream, project planning tools (e.g. Primavera P6, EcoSys, Prism, Xeras), Power BI, Tableau, and advanced Excel to automate recurring outputs and improve data integrity.
