About the Role
We are looking for a strong Cost Control Manager to join a U.S.-based, vertically integrated real estate development group. The group specializes in turnkey construction of industrial and warehouse facilities with assets exceeding $1 billion. Your main goal will be to stop unauthorized spending and overpayments while building clear, transparent, and timely settlements with contractors.
Key Responsibilities
• Control settlements with contractors: review invoices, certificates of completed work, and compliance with contract terms.
• Prepare and approve payment registers daily.
• Reconcile financial documentation against actual work progress before payments are approved.
• Perform budget-vs-actual analysis of expenses, monitor compliance with spending limits, and prevent cash gaps and cost overruns.
• Review and approve contracts and supporting documentation; support procurement procedures.
• Participate in budgeting and cost forecasting; prepare reports.
Requirements
• C1-level English (strictly required): fluent command of the language for working with documentation and day-to-day communication.
• 3+ years of successful experience in a similar role in construction.
• Understanding of construction work acceptance processes and supporting documentation requirements.
• Excellent budget-vs-actual analysis skills and a deep understanding of budgeting fundamentals.
• A fast pace of work and a healthy obsession with detail — the ability to spot what others miss.
