WFH Construction Project & Operations Admin (Buildertrend)

Job Overview

Our client is looking for a Construction Project & Operations Admin to act as the central administrative hub for project and operational information across Buildertrend, supplier communications, trade documentation, basic invoice administration, and fleet records. The ultimate goal is to ensure that nothing important is sitting untracked — orders are followed up, documents are complete, deliveries are recorded, invoices are matched, and operational renewals are identified before they become urgent problems.
