• Support GMP documentation, payment reviews, supplier-related protections, and commercial risk discussions.
• Coordinate questions with corporate contracts, procurement, legal, and the Government’s authorized representatives.
• Support DBO contract options, warranty/closeout records, and auditable commercial handoffs.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in business, contracts, construction management, or related field and 5+ years of contracts or construction contract administration experience.
• Experience with change documentation, payment support, obligations tracking, and careful handling of commercial records.
• Strong writing and analysis skills and ability to distinguish technical advice from contractual direction.
• Ability to obtain and maintain unescorted access to JBSA Fort Sam Houston.
• Ability to communicate effectively, maintain accurate records, collaborate across disciplines, and handle project information in approved systems.
• Ability to maintain a one team mentality amongst all stakeholders.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:
