• Convert estimates into baseline budgets with clear cost breakdown structures and codes of accounts.
• Develop and maintain integrated project financial models in coordination with accounting (capitalization and financing support).
• Lead applications for tax credits, incentives, and similar programs.
• Implement and maintain cost control systems (budget, commitments, forecasts) tied back to approved estimates.
