Identify correlations, trends, anomalies, and performance patterns across historical and active energy projects, including relationships among design variables, cost drivers, labor productivity, procurement timing, geography, weather, and project outcomes.
Generate insights that improve profitability, reduce risk, strengthen conceptual estimates, and support value engineering and broader business decision-making.
Benchmark current bids and conceptual estimates against historical project performance, market trends, prior wins, and known cost drivers; support the Indicative Lead and PCM in pricing and repricing exercises through structured data analysis.
Build dashboards, reports, and KPI visibility tools using Power BI or similar platforms to track estimate accuracy, cost variance, margin trends, bid competitiveness, win rates, and project milestones.
Translate complex analysis into clear, decision-oriented reporting for leadership and business stakeholders.
Support risk analysis, forecasting, sensitivity analysis, scenario modeling, contingency planning, and feasibility analysis using internal and external data, including location, weather, irradiance, and grid proximity.
