Description
MISSIONS / SERVICE DIMENSIONS
Cost engineering is a key aspect of the project services/project control’s function and for a project of the scale of the VENUS Project it is imperative that a dedicated cost engineering function is in place to ensure that the project budget is monitored and controlled effectively and that risks of budget overruns are communicated to the project leadership team as soon as possible.
This function is vital to keep on track with the project Critical Success Factor of completing the project according to the agreed budget. The key purpose of this position is to support the cost engineering function and ensure project cost deliverables are met and all relevant processes are current. The cost control team comprises one cost control lead and three senior cost controllers.
ACTIVITIES
Managing one or two main packages (FPSO, SURF, SPS, PMT, etc.) while also working with Lead Cost Engineer on wider cost activities on the Project.
Monthly Cycle
• Working with the Package Team to maintain a phased forecast profile based on Value of Work Done (VOWD), using available Contractor monthly reports. Lead monthly review meeting to obtain and review all VOWD and cost forecast data.
• Delivering input to monthly accruals, at Contract level from the monthly phasing/ review meetings.
• Develop a Cost Monthly Report with Cost Summaries, Phasing profiles, Quarterly and Yearly performance with variance analysis and any additional focus areas from the Package Manager.
• Assessing cost impacts for changes raised in the MOC system and linkage into Change Orders.
• Rigorously maintain Change Control visibility ensuring approved, pending and potential changes are included in Cleopatra. Coordinating with the Contracts and Procurement team to assess the cost impact of all changes. Support development processes to improve understanding, workflows and responsibilities.
• Fully understand the mapping of package cost data from SAP into Cleopatra to minimize unassigned costs, working closely with package planners. • Ensure all completed Contracts, Purchase orders and Service orders are closed, on full completion, in SAP and recorded in Cleopatra. • Respond to requests for ad hoc data, data analysis, and presentation materials.
Quarterly / Monthly / Yearly
• Integrate the cost update for any re-baseline activities including final documentation. • Maintaining the basis of estimate document after detailed reviews.
• Providing data for LTP, PDC, monthly reporting
• Supporting annual cost risk analysis exercise and use conclusion to provide input to assess remaining project contingency requirements Other Activities • Get fully up to speed with Total procedures and processes, understand any gaps or changes that impact the Cost Function
CONTEXT & ENVIRONMENT
The VENUS deep offshore Project is a key project for Total as the first Oil & Gas facilities to be installed in Namibian waters with 3,000 m water depth and uncommon reservoir characteristics with a CAPEX > 10 BUSD. 38 wells to be drilled and completed (19 OP and 19 GI) with a DRILLEX > 3 BUSD; out of ~2/3 to be ready before First Oil date.
The Venus Project will be developed with the objectives to maximize economical results by optimizing the reserves, the schedule, reducing the costs and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission, while maintaining the technical quality of the installations, with high H3SE requirements and focus.
Interaction with people across different locations during project execution (from CTR engineering office to CTR yards, France and Namibia).
