• Maintain accurate and current project cost records.
  
• Process timesheets, labor records, and plant records.
  
• Identify duplicate entries, discrepancies, and missing information.
  
• Maintain an outstanding docket register.
  
• Follow up with site teams and suppliers for missing documentation.
  
• Ensure supporting documentation is complete, accurate, and accessible.
  
• Support Project Managers, Engineers, and Site Supervisors with supplier, labor, and plant records.
  
• Minimize rework by maintaining accurate and complete cost administration records.

• 2+ years of relevant experience in project administration, cost administration, accounts administration, construction administration, or a related role.
