  • Strong understanding of how construction projects, project teams, and contractual requirements work together.
  • Exceptional organizational skills and close attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines, documents, claims, and payment issues at the same time.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to build productive relationships with Project Managers, owners, architects, consultants, finance professionals, and legal counsel.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to identifying and resolving problems.

  • Familiarity with AIA contract documents.
  • Experience supporting public construction projects or public procurement requirements.
  • Experience preparing or coordinating Requests for Equitable Adjustment.

  • The opportunity to build and improve a critical company function.
  • Meaningful involvement in contract strategy, claims recovery, payment resolution, and risk management.
  • A collaborative role working across Operations, Finance, Estimating, Project Management, and outside counsel.
