HKA is recruiting a Cost Manager into its Advisory team in Sydney, on a hybrid basis, working with project owners, contractors and infrastructure investors in energy, water, transport, resources and data centres.

The role provides cost control on complex projects carrying several stakeholder interests, with monthly integration between cost, scheduling and risk management, and with variance tracking kept inside the governance standards and delegations that apply.

Budgets are controlled through forecasting and change management, and the holder prepares cost plans, cost flow and cash flow, and writes the cost reports that summarise performance, with key performance indicator reporting and variance commentary. Contract management support covers variations, contractor payments and invoice disputes,



and earned value management is used alongside other performance measures.

HKA asks for a tertiary qualification in construction, engineering or finance, and extensive delivery experience on complex rail or transport infrastructure or oil and gas work, with integrated project controls developed from the outset. Experience of contract administration, variation assessment and change management including the evaluation of cost impacts is sought, as is a sound grasp of claims and commercial matters on major infrastructure.

The post may carry direct reports and the management of a team of cost controllers. The posting states no salary and no closing date.
