- Reconcile LEMS entries with crew sheets, equipment logs, MIRs, and daily field reports
- Identify and resolve discrepancies with construction managers and coordinators
- Track changes, extra work, and T&M documentation
- Maintain master data including cost codes, resource lists, equipment inventories, and subcontractor accounts
- Support accruals, committed cost tracking, and month-end reporting
- Interface LEMS data into cost reports, earned value metrics, and progress tracking
- Produce daily and weekly dashboards (labour hours, equipment utilization, materials consumption, subcontract performance, exceptions)
- Identify variances, quantity overruns, and unapproved scope consumption
- Support productivity analysis, forecasting, and continuous improvement efforts
- Coordinate material receiving, storage, inspection, and compliance with project standards
- Support audit trails and document control for internal and external reviews
- Train site teams on LEMS processes, tools, and coding standards
Experience & Qualifications RequiredTo succeed in this role, candidates should demonstrate:
- 3–5+ years of experience in project controls, field administration, cost control, commercial administration, or material coordination on industrial construction projects
- Experience working with LEMS or similar field data capture platforms
- Strong understanding of WBS/CBS structures, cost codes, earned value principles, and contract rate tables
- Working knowledge of ERP or cost systems such as SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, or similar
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, data validation); familiarity with Power BI or reporting tools is an asset
- Experience validating timesheets, equipment logs, material receipts, and subcontract documentation
- Familiarity with T&M processes, change management, and industrial contract structures
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage high volumes of data in a fast-paced field environment
- Clear communication skills and the ability to interface with construction, project controls, accounting, and procurement teams
A diploma or degree in Business, Accounting, Engineering, Construction Management, Supply Chain, or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered.
Experience within large-scale industrial or brownfield environments is highly valued. Familiarity with union agreements and shift differentials is an advantage.
