Earned Value Analysis (EVA) — also known as Earned Value Management (EVM) — is a project performance measurement technique that integrates scope, schedule, and cost to objectively assess project progress and forecast final outcomes. It is a core competency for this role and candidates must have hands-on experience applying EVM in a construction project environment.
What cost control software experience is preferred?
Proficiency in Primavera P6 and SAP is strongly preferred. Experience with Oracle, PRISM, or other construction ERP platforms is also relevant. Advanced Excel skills for financial modeling and reporting are a mandatory baseline requirement.
What is the expected salary for this role?
Based on market rates for Cost Control Engineers on major infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, the expected range is SAR 10,000 – SAR 18,000 per month. Candidates with tunnel construction experience and strong EVM expertise can negotiate toward the higher end of this range.
