About the Role

The Contracts & Compliance Coordinator supports the company’s contract, customer onboarding, prequalification, vendor/subcontractor, and compliance processes.

This role makes sure contracts and required documents are complete, accurate, tracked, and moving through the process on time. The position works closely with Sales, Operations, Estimating, Project Management, Safety, Risk, HR, Procurement, Legal, Finance, and outside business partners.
