How You’ll Make an Impact

We are seeking a Project Controls Specialist to assist project managers and project accountants with general tasks associated with day-to-day execution and management of projects.

This is not a project management position or a project accounting position, but the employee will overlap with both of those roles at the company.

  • Assist with new project budgeting and setup
    • Work with Project Managers to prepare budget and work breakdown structure
    • Work with Project Managers to review specific contract terms i.e., restricted reimbursables, travel requirements, custom rates, invoicing requirements, etc.
    • Work with Project Accountants to set up contract records and amendments in Deltek Vantagepoint
  • Assist with ongoing management of projects and as-needed contracts
    • Preparation of necessary contract administration documentation (adding new staff, subcontractor participation, etc.)
