  • Support capital budgeting and funding plans for construction phases, working with finance leadership to keep projects funded and on plan.
  • Monitor commitments, contingencies, and exposure across projects, flagging risks before they lead to overruns.
  • Partner with procurement and legal to align contract terms, payment schedules, and financial controls.
  • Help build and improve the financial processes, controls, and tools that will scale across multiple construction sites.
  • The opportunity to help build and scale transformative energy technology from the ground up
