• Experience working with invoices, cost reports, accounts payable, or other project financial data.

• Experience with platforms like Procore or similar project management systems for handling RFIs, submittals, and change orders.
• Understanding of project financial processes including change orders, cost tracking, and accounts payable.
• Interest in developing a career path into project controls or project management.
• Ability to quickly learn and navigate enterprise-level project systems and structured workflows.

This role is fully onsite in a professional office setting, working closely with project managers and engineers in a collaborative team environment. The work is fast-paced and deadline-driven, with a steady pipeline of projects rather than one-off assignments. You will operate within structured processes and enterprise-level project systems, gaining hands-on exposure to large-scale engineering and infrastructure projects. The environment emphasizes clear communication, organized documentation, and consistent coordination across multiple stakeholders.
