• Coordinate with insurance and bonding providers to obtain and track project-specific performance bonds and payment bonds.
• Monitor contractual compliance documentation, applicable licensing items, and open exceptions; maintain visibility into deadlines and responsible parties.
• Work with Safety and internal stakeholders to complete GC onboarding and documentation requirements, without assuming responsibility for their technical or operational functions.

Cross Functional Support & Continuous Improvement

• Serve as a dependable point of coordination for contract-related administrative questions and documentation needs..
• Maintain accurate, accessible, and well-organized electronic contract records throughout each project.
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce repetitive work, and strengthen consistency through appropriate technology, including AI-enabled tools and automation.
• Communicate emerging issues promptly and support improvements to existing contract administration practices.
