  5. Assist in the evaluation and selection of vendors, ensuring that the power company gets value for money while maintaining quality and compliance with industry standards.
  6. Identify and assist in managing financial risks related to energy market fluctuations, changes in regulations, and operational inefficiencies.
  7. Collaborate with senior cost managers to help develop cost contingency plans for unexpected changes in fuel prices, regulatory changes, or project delays.
  8. Help prepare cost reports for senior management, regulatory bodies, or clients covering project status, financial performance, and budget adherence.
