About the role

The Project Controls Administrator is an Accounting & Finance position embedded within field operations.

This position serves as the critical link between Operations, Accounting, Supply Chain, Payroll, and Project Management by ensuring purchasing, labor reporting, equipment tracking, and project documentation are accurate, complete, and timely. The role also coordinates the information and supporting documentation Accounting needs to prepare customer billings; however, it does not prepare, process, or issue customer invoices.
