Job description

Cost Analyst Opportunity

For 25 years, Curtin Maritime has been an industry leader in quality maritime solutions. We're a dynamic Marine Construction and Marine Transportation company experiencing rapid growth, giving our team the chance to work on unique projects in some of the most amazing places on earth. Efficiency, Innovation, and Integrity aren't just words on a wall here they're how we run our fleet and our projects.

The Opportunity

Curtin Maritime is looking for a Cost Analyst to own day-to-day cost tracking and reporting for our dredging projects. Right now, project cost data lives across multiple systems with inconsistent speed and accuracy and Project Managers are stuck chasing it down on top of running their jobs. This role changes that. You'll bring that data together, make it accurate and fast, and hand leadership clean, decision-ready numbers building the reporting infrastructure that doesn't fully exist yet. It's a chance to build something real, not just maintain a spreadsheet.

What You'll Own

  • Aggregate and validate project costs daily across labor, charters, rentals, lodging, travel, consumables, services, stores, and fuel.
  • Confirm dredges and projects are coding activity to the correct cost code so spend lands where it belongs.
  • Produce a recurring cost package per project comparing actuals to budget flagging variances before they compound, not after.
  • Build and maintain the weekly rollup that ties site-level spend back to the project budget and reconciles cleanly with monthly FP&A actuals.
  • Track bid-to-actuals on rentals and charters; monitor commitments against budget in real time.
  • Review and approve (or route) expenses, credit card spend, and POs against project budgets.
  • Partner with Payroll on weekly labor audits, flagging discrepancies between budgeted and actual hours.

What You'll Build

You'll design a fast, repeatable way to pull cost data out of our existing platforms including Procurify, Power BI, Dayforce, Egencia, and our production reporting tools so recurring reporting is automated rather than manually rebuilt every cycle. You'll partner with IT to close the gaps where systems don't yet talk to each other, and document the process so it's consistent across projects and survives staff turnover.

Cross-Functional Impact

  • Become the go-to person Project Managers, Site Admins, and the Travel Manager route weekly cost inputs through.
  • Surface cost trends and risk areas to FP&A and Dredge Operations leadership proactively.
  • Support multiple concurrent dredge projects, scaling your coverage to project size and complexity.

What You Bring

  • 3+ years in cost analysis, project controls, FP&A, or similar marine/dredging, construction, or heavy-asset industry experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong Excel skills, plus hands-on experience with Power BI or a comparable BI/reporting tool.
  • Comfort pulling and reconciling data from multiple, non-integrated systems into one clean, consistent report.
  • A detail-oriented mindset with real follow-through on variances you're not satisfied with "close enough."
  • Ability to work directly with field and site staff without disrupting their day-to-day operations.
  • Experience with procurement/expense platforms (e.g., Procurify) and payroll/labor systems is a plus.

Curtin Maritime is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
