  • Communicate pricing and material changes to internal stakeholders
  • Administer contract timelines and ensure compliance with the scopes of work
  • Conduct cost analysis, manage budget revisions, and review plan change impacts
  • Prepare month-end budget reports, including spend, variances, and change orders
  • Participate in field walks to identify cost savings, specification changes, or quality improvements

What You'll Bring

  • Proven ability to negotiate effectively and manage vendor relationships
  • Experience preparing bids, evaluating proposals, and managing contracts
