Trans Mountain is seeking a collaborative, values‑driven Project Controls Cost Controller (Contract) to support the Mainline Optimization Project (MOP), a major project advancing towards execution. Reporting to the Lead, Cost Control, you will own cost control for assigned MOP scopes, including commitment and incurred cost tracking, monthly forecasting, change and contingency management, and contractor cost verification, giving project leadership and executives accurate, timely cost information.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage cost control for assigned MOP scopes, including keeping control accounts, cost codes and budgets aligned with the Control Budget and cost baseline, the WBS/CBS and Trans Mountain's project controls standards.
- Follow the Stage‑Gate Project Delivery Model (PDM) as implemented at Trans Mountain, preparing the cost deliverables required for each Gate.

- Review contractor and vendor invoices, progress claims and cost breakdowns to confirm accuracy, match reported progress and follow contract terms.
- Raise and manage changes for assigned scopes: identify, assess, document and process Project Change Notices (PCNs) and Forecast Change Notices (FCNs), and reconcile the change log to the cost report monthly, following Trans Mountain's change management standard.
- Support earned value analysis with budget and incurred cost inputs, including CPI and SPI trending and cost and schedule variance analysis, together with Planning & Scheduling and progress measurement data.
- Work with Finance on monthly accruals and reconcile project costs to the financial system (ERP).
