Assist with monitoring project budgets, invoices, commitments, and other project financial information
Maintain accurate and well-organized project files and records
Help Project Managers identify potential schedule, coordination, or documentation issues before they become bigger problems
Gather information, analyze project data, and help turn it into useful reports and updates
Support project closeout and make sure the right documentation and deliverables are in place
Assist with proposals and other business development initiatives when needed
Look for smarter, more efficient ways to organize information and support project delivery

Federal & DoD Projects – projects supporting federal agencies, military installations, and critical government facilities
Engineering Projects – working alongside engineering and technical teams to coordinate project activities and deliverables

The variety means there's always something new to learn and no two days have to look exactly the same.

What Makes You a Great Fit?

We are looking for someone who is organized, curious, proactive, and enjoys being the person who keeps things moving.

You should have:

A bachelor's degree in Project Management, Business, Construction Management, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related field preferred
02+ years of experience in project coordination, project administration, construction, engineering, environmental services, government contracting, or a related field

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
