We’re looking for a collaborative and detail orientated Construction Administrator to join our Deployments and Construction team to own the administrative backbone that keeps construction projects controlled, documented, financially accurate, and moving.

• Support contract administration from initial setup through execution, change management, closeout, and final reconciliation.
• Keep all details across our software platforms current, accurate, and internally consistent - Procore, Coupa, spreadsheets, trackers, and other construction or internal construction and finance systems
• Coordinate across Construction, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Design, Engineering, Deployment, and…
