Job Description:
Turnaround Cost Controller

Role Objective
To provide real-time cost visibility, budgeting accuracy, and financial discipline during the planning and execution phases of a scheduled plant turnaround.
This role bridges the gap between field execution and corporate accounting.

Key Responsibilities
Pre-Turnaround Planning
Budget Development: Assist the TAR Manager in creating detailed cost estimates based on the work scope.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Establish the WBS and cost codes to ensure every dollar spent is tracked to a specific piece of equipment or task.
Contract Review: Review commercial terms for vendors and contractors to understand rate structures (ST, OT, DT) and equipment rentals.

Execution Phase (The "Heat" of the TAR)
Daily Cost Tracking: Collect and validate daily "lemons" (Labor, Equipment, Material) from contractors.
Burn Rate Analysis: Compare actual daily spend against the planned baseline to identify overruns immediately.
Accruals: Prepare daily/weekly financial accruals for the corporate finance team.
Change Order Management: Evaluate the cost impact of "discovery work" and ensure proper authorization before spend occurs.

Post-Turnaround & Reporting
Final Cost Report: Reconcile all invoices against field-verified data to produce a final expenditure report.
Variance Analysis: Explain why the event went over or under budget (e.g., "Scope creep in Unit 3 led to a 10% overrun").
Benchmarking: Capture data to improve the accuracy of the next TAR cycle.

Required Skills & Qualifications
Category Requirements
Technical Mastery of Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs), SAP/Oracle, and Primavera P6.
Experience 5+ years in industrial construction or maintenance, specifically within petrochem or refining.
Soft Skills High pressure tolerance, "assertive diplomacy" when dealing with contractors, and extreme attention to detail.
