• Assess financial impacts, including capital requirements, operating cost changes, and payback periods; prepare data sets for business cases presented to senior leadership.

• Serve as an analytical and coordination lead for initiatives involving multi‑site, multi‑function project teams; ensure alignment with strategic priorities, timelines, budgets, and deliverables.
• Manage detailed project workplans, KPIs, risk logs, and milestone tracking, escalating barriers and proposing corrective actions when needed to maintain project momentum.
• Own development of high‑quality presentations, dashboards, and executive summaries for project teams, governance councils, and senior leaders.

• Collaborate with Operations, Transportation, Finance, IT, Real Estate, and external engineering partners to ensure data quality, validate assumptions, and harmonize cross‑functional requirements.
