The ideal candidate is a disciplined document control professional who can bring structure and accuracy to high-volume project environments, ensuring the right information reaches the right people at the right time. They have a strong grasp of document control workflows across drawings, RFIs, submittals, transmittals, correspondence, and close-out documentation, and they are meticulous about version control, revision history, naming conventions, and approval status.
