- Job cost tracking: code invoices to the correct project and cost code; help maintain visibility into over/under by line item.
- Monthly draw preparation: compile draw packages with required supporting documentation; align invoices with project schedule and progress for review.
- Payment support: prepare items for bill pay (ACH/check), track payment status, and maintain clear records.
- Lien waivers: request, track, collect, and file lien waivers and other closeout/compliance documents.
- Estimating admin support: monitor estimating inbox, download/organize subcontractor bids by job, and input bid values into Excel templates for owner review.
- Maintain organized digital files for invoices, bids, draw documents, contracts, scopes, and key project documentation.
- Provide light support in project software (Co-Construct familiarity is a plus) when needed.
- Help document and improve internal systems for invoicing, draw workflows, and estimating organization.

- Experience with invoice platforms/tools (bonus if you've used Adaptive or similar).
