Help build the infrastructure powering the next generation of AI and cloud services. As a Cost Analyst supporting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s GoBig MI data center campus, you’ll bring financial discipline and analytical insight to a complex construction program. Your work will help project leaders understand cost performance, evaluate proposed changes, and make informed decisions that protect Oracle’s investment and support project delivery.
You’ll work alongside construction, commercial, project controls, and finance teams to review Developer change order estimates, validate monthly financial reports, and assess forecasts against project scope and progress. By questioning assumptions, investigating discrepancies, and identifying emerging cost risks, you’ll turn detailed analysis into practical recommendations. This role offers the opportunity to apply your construction cost expertise, build cross-functional relationships, and see the direct impact of your work as the campus takes shape.
