Administrative Specialist (JOC)
Position Overview
This role provides dedicated administrative support to a construction project management team operating under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) program. The JOC Program Coordinator plays a critical role in day-to-day coordination, documentation, scheduling, and communication across multiple active construction work orders. The position is fully on-site and supports real-time collaboration with project managers, contractors, and facilities staff.

- Maintain organized electronic and hard-copy filing systems for contracts, reports, and project records
- Aid in data entry and tracking of activity across multiple concurrent work orders
- Cook up invoice routing, tracking, and submission support
- Support purchase order documentation and approval workflows as requested
- Schedule and coordinate meetings with project teams, contractors, vendors, and stakeholders
- Prepare meeting agendas, record notes, and distribute follow-up items
- Manage on-site meeting logistics including conference rooms, materials, and attendance
- Support smooth workflow coordination between facilities staff, contractors, and project managers
- Compile, format, and distribute reports on JOC activity, project status, and performance metrics
- Track timelines, deliverables, and financial or status summaries as requested
- Ensure all reports and documentation are accurate, complete, and submitted on time to leadership or client representatives
- Communicate professionally with contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders
- Ensure consistent, timely information flow between the project team and supporting departments
- Be present in the office throughout the work week to support in-person collaboration
- Provide direct, real-time support to project managers and leadership as issues arise
- Aid with walk-ins, document reviews, and coordination that cannot be handled remotely
Skills & Experience
- 3–6 years of experience in an administrative or coordination role; background in construction, facilities, or engineering preferred
- Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams
- Comfortable learning and navigating client-specific systems, portals, and documentation platforms
- Professional written and verbal communication skills
What Makes This Role Different
- Direct involvement in construction project workflows — not general office administration
- Ongoing coordination with project managers, contractors, and facilities teams
- Regular handling of JOC-specific documentation, invoices, and reporting
- On-site presence that is critical to day-to-day execution in an active construction environment
