The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable working with online systems and documentation, and able to communicate effectively with employees, subcontractors, and project personnel. Previous construction administrative or Davis-Bacon experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate who is detail-oriented and comfortable learning new systems.

• Pay: $25.00–$27.00 per hour, based on experience
• Work Arrangement: Remote

• Use Elations to enter, review, track, and maintain certified payroll and labor compliance information.
• Monitor subcontractor certified payroll submissions and follow up on missing, incomplete, or inaccurate documentation.
• Maintain accurate employee classifications, hours, wage rates, and related compliance records.

What We're Looking For

This role is a good fit for someone who is organized, dependable, and comfortable taking ownership of administrative processes. Because Davis-Bacon compliance requires accurate and timely documentation, the successful candidate should be someone who notices details, follows through on outstanding items, and is comfortable communicating with multiple subcontractors and project stakeholders.
