PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR

This is a hybrid position (working both remote and onsite in Beachwood), and will support our Eastern Division.   

GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE JOB: 

Project Administrators play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth execution and success of projects by providing essential administrative support in collaboration with Construction Managers and Field Representatives throughout various project phases. Specifically, the Business Operations Project Administrator is tasked with managing and coordinating all administrative aspects for an array of project types. This includes services like Patch and Repair, Patch and Repair Plus, General Contracting, Safety Patch and Repair, Building Envelope services, IAQ Services (both standalone and integrated with General Contracting), Job Site Inspections, Roofing Advisor Days, Consulting, Diagnostics, TRACE, ACT, and several emergency repair services.

Key responsibilities encompass managing contractor payables, handling customer billings and receivables, ensuring compliance with standards and policies, applying book pricing and WTI documentation policies, overseeing commission and discounting policies, processing change orders, document management, financial data entry, and coordinating communications with Field Resources and Customers as required.

Success in this role requires a high level of professionalism, strong organizational and prioritization skills, effective time management, and proficiency in relevant technology and software. Excellent interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills, coupled with meticulous attention to detail, accuracy, and a self-motivated attitude, are vital. The administrator must work effectively both independently and as part of a team, demonstrating the ability to collaborate with customers, field staff, and various internal stakeholders.

This position involves regular interaction with multiple departments and teams, including General Services, General Contracting field operations, Field Representatives, Business Operations, IT, Finance/Accounting, Warranty, Tremcare, Sales, Accounts Payable, Credit, and Products. Given the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the role, flexibility and adaptability are essential, as the Project Administrator must navigate and respond to evolving project requirements and organizational needs.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Project Administrator plays an integral role in the project lifecycle by validating, organizing, and ensuring compliance for all project documentation and financial processes. Upon receiving SAP Sales Order information from Customer Service Representatives, the administrator confirms all compliance requirements based on the WTI Price Book Policy/Procedures and Contract Management Policy, completing checklists to ensure data accuracy and completeness. Key responsibilities include managing critical project documents, such as vendor applications, subcontracts, purchase orders, Master Service Agreements, specifications, certificates of insurance, payment and performance bonds, prevailing wage rates, certified payroll reports, and state-specific compliance documentation. Project Administrators also facilitate and manage compliance submissions as needed.

This role includes dispatching service orders to WTI Technicians, tailored to the specific project type. For General Contracting projects, the administrator provides WTI Superintendents with essential service orders and field report links to streamline daily reporting. Additionally, they maintain a comprehensive tracking spreadsheet for all projects, providing up-to-date project insights.

Throughout each project, the Project Administrator coordinates with Construction Managers, Field Representatives, field technicians, customers, and management to ensure seamless operations. Project management duties cover tracking time and expenses, managing payables over 30 days, monitoring plan versus actual costs, verifying that all documents (such as bonds, insurance, and submittals) are submitted and approved, ensuring costs align with budget expectations, and validating all projects older than 90 days.

This role includes preparing customer invoices with accuracy and timeliness, adhering to book pricing, time and materials (T&M), not-to-exceed (NTE) limits, lump-sum pricing, and customer-specific billing requirements. Project Administrators must understand and apply WTI's commission and discount policies when processing invoices across both General Contracting and General Services. They also review projects for job closeout audits, updating planned versus actual costs, and completing a job closing checklist for final approval.

The Project Administrator is essential to ensuring that WTI's policies and procedures are followed precisely, maintaining accurate financial data for reporting at month-end, quarter-end, and fiscal year-end. This role requires a comprehensive understanding of WTI's operational, financial, and compliance frameworks to support accurate project execution and reporting.
