About This Role

The AI Gigascale Construction Cost Senior Manager (OCI) provides end-to-end cost

leadership for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) gigascale construction

programs, including hyperscale data center campuses and associated enabling

infrastructure. This role blends rigorous cost management and project controls

with scaled, time-to-market–focused delivery execution to improve forecast

accuracy, accelerate executive decision-making, strengthen early risk detection,

and deliver clear, auditable cost transparency across the full project

lifecycle.

You will support the cost controls function and team, establishing standardized

processes, systems, and reporting that scale across multiple sites and

workstreams. You will own the development and maintenance of estimates, budgets,

forecasts, cash flow, contingency, and change control, partnering closely with

Design & Construction, Procurement/Supply Chain, Finance, Scheduling/Project

Controls, and Delivery leadership to drive predictable outcomes and disciplined

cost governance.

You will also champion the responsible use of AI and advanced analytics within

Oracle construction and engineering productivity suite; creating repeatable

models, dashboards, and insights that improve performance (e.g., variance

detection, cost risk indicators, productivity signals, invoice/bid anomalies),

while ensuring outputs are explainable, traceable, and aligned with enterprise

data governance and compliance expectations.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Key Responsibilities

Cost Strategy, Governance & Controls

Own the cost management strategy across one or more gigascale projects/programs

from early design through closeout.

Build cost governance: WBS/CBS structures, cost codes, control accounts,

reporting cadence, and executive dashboards.

Establish standards for estimating, forecasting, contingency management, and

cost risk practices across the program.

Provide clear cost narratives to leadership: variances, drivers, corrective

actions, and forward-looking risk.

Estimating, Budgeting & Forecasting

Lead concept-to-definitive estimating aligned to design maturity (e.g., ROM,

schematic, DD, CD).

Develop and maintain the overall project budget, cash flow, and long-range

forecast; reconcile to funding and finance requirements.

Benchmark costs using historical data, market intelligence, and parametric

models; validate unit rates and productivity assumptions.

Drive monthly cost report cycles with disciplined cost-to-complete and

earned-value-informed forecasting where applicable.

Change Management & Commercial Management

Implement a robust change control process to manage scope, schedule, and cost

impacts with strong documentation.

Evaluate change orders and claims: pricing, entitlement, schedule linkage, and

negotiation support.

Partner with contracts/procurement to align cost controls with contract types

(GMP, lump sum, target cost, T&M) and commercial terms.

Manage contingencies and allowances using risk-based approaches; maintain

traceability of drawdowns and releases.

Develop and govern dashboards (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) that integrate schedule,

procurement, and cost data for predictive insights.

Ensure AI outputs are explainable, auditable, and compliant with data governance

and privacy requirements.

Procurement & Market Intelligence

Support procurement strategy through cost modeling, bid analysis, supplier

benchmarking, and should-cost frameworks.

Track material and labor indices; assess escalation exposure and recommend

mitigation actions (buyouts, alternates, hedging where applicable).

Coordinate with logistics and construction teams to quantify impacts from lead

times, resequencing, and field productivity shifts.

Stakeholder Leadership

Serve as a trusted advisor to program leadership, project managers, design

teams, construction managers, and finance partners.

Lead cost reviews with internal and external stakeholders; communicate complex

cost topics clearly to non-cost audiences.

Mentor junior cost engineers/analysts; standardize templates, playbooks, and

training for scale and repeatability.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Quantity Surveying,

Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience).

5 - 10 years progressive experience in cost management/cost controls for large

capital projects (multi-site or campus-scale preferred).

Demonstrated expertise in estimating, forecasting, change control, and

contract/commercial evaluation.

Strong working knowledge of construction means and methods, cost drivers,

productivity, and sequencing.

Advanced Excel skills; proficiency with cost systems and project controls tools

(e.g., EcoSys, Unifier, Primavera P6, MS Project, SAP/Oracle ERP, or similar).

Ability to build executive-ready reporting and drive disciplined monthly

performance routines.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience on hyperscale/gigascale programs (data centers, semiconductor fabs,

EV/battery plants, large infrastructure, energy).

Experience integrating cost and schedule data (EVMS concepts, production/earned

value methods).

Certifications: CCP (AACE), MRICS, PMP, or equivalent.

Experience designing cost data models, governance standards, and automated

reporting pipelines.

Core Competencies

Commercial acumen and negotiation support

Structured problem solving; strong attention to detail with executive-level

judgment

High ownership in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Data fluency and a continuous improvement mindset

Integrity, discretion, and strong governance orientation
