What I'm looking for
I have 8+ years of experience in project controls, planning, reporting and project data analysis across large construction, mining, chemical and oil & gas projects.
In my current role, I collect and reconcile project data across multiple subprojects, validate schedules and progress reports, and prepare consolidated management reporting. I build automated reporting workflows and data-quality checks using Excel and Power Query.
Previously, I worked on project-management process improvement, cost control, procurement and reporting. I developed BPMN process models, procedures and automation requirements, and automated reporting using Excel, Power Query and Power Pivot.
My broader experience includes integrated scheduling, plan-versus-actual analysis, progress measurement, resource planning and project-controls methodology. I work with Oracle Primavera P6 and have experience coordinating planning specialists and improving the quality of project data and reporting.
I am particularly interested in remote roles combining project controls, data analysis and reporting automation, where I can turn complex project data into reliable, structured information for decision-making.
