- Manage vendor and subcontractor compliance documentation.
- Review and track Certificates of Insurance, lien waivers, retention, W-9s, bonds, and other required project documentation.
- Ensure vendor documentation is complete and compliant before payment processing.
- Support project risk management through accurate documentation and financial controls.
- Assist with change orders and ensure changes are appropriately reflected in project budgets and billings.
- Support month-end close activities related to assigned projects.
- Maintain accurate project information within the accounting and project management systems.
- Assist with project closeout and ensure financial records and compliance documentation are complete.
