    • Participate in value engineering efforts to optimize the electrical design and reduce costs while maintaining performance and safety standards.
  • Project Coordination:
    • Work closely with project managers, procurement teams, and electrical engineers to ensure alignment between cost estimates and project goals.
    • Provide support during project planning, procurement, and construction phases to ensure accurate cost management.
  • Reporting & Documentation:
    • Prepare cost reports, including comparisons of actual costs versus budget and forecast updates.
    • Maintain and update cost databases, historical data, and records for future reference.
    • Provide regular updates on project financial status to management and stakeholders.
