A respected architecture, engineering, and design practice is seeking experienced Construction Contract Administrators to support projects throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. This role is ideal for a construction-focused professional who enjoys being actively engaged on project sites, collaborating directly with contractors, owners, and design teams to ensure successful project execution.

Position Overview

We are looking for motivated professionals with 15 to 25 years of relevant experience and a strong understanding of construction administration, project documentation, and contract compliance.

Why Join This Team?

This position offers an opportunity to play a critical role in the successful delivery of impactful projects while working closely with senior leadership, project managers, architects, and construction professionals. You'll be part of a collaborative environment where your expertise in construction administration directly contributes to project quality, client satisfaction, and long-term success.
This is not a purely administrative desk role. It is a field-oriented position for professionals who enjoy wearing a hard hat, working directly alongside contractors, solving problems on site, and helping bring projects from design through construction completion.
Qualified candidates should be prepared to discuss their construction administration experience, project accomplishments, technical expertise, and long-term professional goals, as well as examples of projects that showcase their ability to manage and support construction successfully.
