Reporting Manager

The Progress & Reporting Manager is the single point of authority for progress measurement methodology, reporting governance, and performance monitoring across all active UCC EPC projects within the Oil & Gas and Power Plant portfolios. This role functions as a subject matter expert and functional manager who translates raw project data into reliable, decision-grade performance intelligence for the Project Controls Director, Project Managers, and senior client stakeholders.

The role owns the full reporting value chain: from defining measurement rules and validating contractor-reported progress, to producing consolidated multi-project dashboards and executive-level performance summaries. It enforces consistency across contractors and projects, ensures contractual compliance in all reporting deliverables, and leads a team of Reporting Engineers to maintain the highest standards of data integrity throughout the project lifecycle.

• Define, own, and continuously improve standardized progress measurement procedures covering all project phases: engineering, procurement, construction (civil, mechanical, electrical, I&C), pre-commissioning, and commissioning.
• Establish and document activity weighting, quantity-based measurement rules, and milestone credit methodologies aligned with UCC EPC standards and contract-specific requirements.
• Review and challenge Contractors' progress measurement systems (PMSs) at mobilisation stage; reject or approve with conditions, and re-audit at defined intervals throughout execution.
• Ensure harmonization of measurement approaches across concurrent projects and multiple contractor interfaces to enable meaningful portfolio-level consolidation.
• Maintain a library of approved measurement rules, weighting matrices, and progress claim templates accessible to all project controls staff.

• Develop, own, and enforce the UCC EPC Project Controls Reporting Procedure for the division, covering daily flash reports, weekly progress reports, monthly performance reports, and executive summary packages.
• Define standard templates, KPI sets, dashboard layouts, and data submission protocols; ensure all projects adopt and comply with them without exception.
• Chair the weekly progress review meetings with project teams and contractors; drive accountability for data quality and submission timeliness.
• Produce consolidated multi-project performance dashboards integrating schedule performance (SPI), cost performance (CPI), physical progress, lookahead, and risk status for review by the Project Controls Director and COO.
• Maintain version control and change management over all reporting templates and procedures.

• Critically interrogate all contractor-reported progress claims before acceptance; challenge supporting evidence, back-up quantities, and sign-off documentation.
• Conduct periodic field audits and desk reviews of contractor progress measurement practices; issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) where deviations are identified.
• Ensure all reported physical progress is cross-referenced against schedule updates, procurement status, and cost expenditure to detect inconsistencies.
• Maintain an audit trail of all progress claim validations, adjustments, and approvals in line with document control requirements.

• Monitor and analyses project KPIs on a continuous basis; proactively identify trends, deviations, and early warning signals before they materialise as schedule or cost impacts.
• Develop Earned Value Analysis (EVA) inputs for the Cost Control team, ensuring alignment between physical progress and earned value calculations.
• Produce variance analysis narratives that are clear, accurate, and actionable - moving beyond data presentation to provide root-cause interpretation.
• Support the Project Controls Director in the preparation of project status presentations for Client and management review meetings.

• Work in close collaboration with Lead Planners and Planning Engineers (O&G and Power tracks) to ensure physical progress measurement is fully integrated with Primavera P6 schedule updates.
• Interface daily with Cost Control Managers and Engineers to align earned physical progress with cost performance reporting; resolve any discrepancies at source.
• Ensure the reporting function provides timely, accurate inputs to…
