Your Role with the Company

The Administrative Assistant/Project Cost Accountant is THE point person, the heart of the office, tying together and providing support for the President, Chief Estimator, Chief Operations Officer, Project Managers, Superintendents, Clients, Sub-Contractors and Vendors.

A day in the life might start with a nice cup of coffee while reviewing, preparing, and processing construction contract documents. Then mid-morning you might order insurance certificates and bonds. Enjoy a nice lunch break, then work with the COO, Client and subcontractor to review and process a change order. Take a nice little walk outside to get invigorated then sit down with a Project Manager to help prepare and process project billings and revenue & cost projections. During this, you might get a call from somebody in the field asking for help tracking down a lost load of rock or to issue a PO to a vendor.

Bottom line, you will be involved with everyone and with every aspect of the company, an extremely important role to the success for the firm.
