What does a typical day for a Cost Engineer at AWE look like?
- Preparing, monitoring and controlling cost forecasts and budgets for specified projects, including change control

- Providing input to project cost reports, including trend analysis and early warnings as necessary
- Supporting SPI and CPI variance analysis and root cause analysis, including input to the narrative
