About the Positions
We’re seeking Document Control Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These positions own the program record: the systems, procedures, and controls that keep every drawing, submittal, RFI, and piece of correspondence current, traceable, and defensible. When an audit, a claim, or a funding review lands two years after the fact, what you built is what the program stands on.
This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Note: We are seeking candidates of various skill levels, and the following responsibilities represent the core of these roles. Scope and complexity increase with experience level.
- May lead the document control function across the program, including direction of assigned document control staff and allocation of that workload across contracts, phases, and field offices.
- Develop and maintain the program’s document control procedures, numbering and naming conventions, revision control, and retention schedules, and hold contractors, designers, and internal teams to them.
- Administer the enterprise document management system, including permissions, workflow configuration, metadata structure, and issue resolution, so the system stays the single authoritative record.
- Oversee the intake, logging, distribution, and closeout of submittals, RFIs, correspondence, and design deliverables in the system of record.
- Keep the register accurate enough that turnaround can be measured and defended.
- Verify that the current approved revision of drawings, specifications, and other controlled documents is the version in use across the program team, the field offices, and any shared platform.
- Coordinate document flow across active work areas and the contract packages they support.
- Monitor and report document control metrics, including submittal turnaround, RFI aging, overdue reviews, and open action items, and escalate what is at risk before it affects schedule or payment.
- Prepare program records for internal and external audits, respond to findings from quality audits, agency reviews, and funding reviews, and drive corrective actions to closure.
- Train program personnel and onboard incoming contractor and consultant staff on the program’s document control procedures and system use.
- Coordinate with project management, design, construction, contracts, legal, and quality teams so document workflows support contract administration, entitlement, and public records obligations.
- Oversee turnover and closeout documentation, including record drawing sets, warranties, permits, and archives, and confirm the record transfers complete and indexed.
Attributes
- Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills.
- Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships.
- Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, information management, or project management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 10+ years of document control experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
- Experience leading a document control function or team on an active design or construction program, including procedure development and direction of staff.
- Working knowledge of construction and program documents, including drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, correspondence, and record documents.
