This is a hands-on, field-based role that works closely with Project Managers to ensure projects run efficiently, stay on budget, and meet contractual requirements.
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced environments, problem-solving, and being directly involved in project execution—not just behind a desk.

• Perform cost analysis and support vendor selection
• Ensure compliance with procurement processes and policies

Operations & Field Support
 

• Coordinate personnel, equipment, and site logistics
• Provide day-to-day administrative and operational support to field teams
• Maintain documentation and ensure compliance with safety and reporting requirements

Team Collaboration
 

• Partner with Project Managers and field leadership to support project execution
• Act as the go-to resource for project tracking, reporting, and coordination

What We’re Looking For
 

• 2+ years of experience in administrative, accounting, or project support roles
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills
• Excellent organization, multitasking, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, field environment
• Willingness to travel and work on project sites

Preferred:
 

• Experience in construction, environmental, or field-based projects
• Knowledge of cost tracking, procurement, or accounting processes

Work Environment
 

• Field-based role (jobsite trailers and active project locations)
• Exposure to outdoor conditions and active construction environments
• Travel and potential relocation depending on project needs

Why This Role?
This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on project experience across cost management, procurement, and operations.
