About The Position

The Compliance Analyst serves as the project compliance expert across a portfolio of Clark’s government-funded construction projects. Working with a dedicated team of compliance professionals, the analyst helps ensure projects meet their compliance objectives. This early-career role offers potential for upward mobility within the Project Controls and Compliance department. The position is based in San Diego, California, with occasional travel to local project sites. The role involves enforcing prevailing wage, union, and project labor agreement requirements; preparing and reviewing certified payroll and related documents; and supporting audits, investigations, project start-up, and close-out. The analyst works with project teams, corporate leadership, trade partners, and third parties to resolve compliance issues and improve processes. The role also supports worker-utilization and small-business subcontracting goals. The position includes frequent work on active construction sites as well as office-based work. Site work may involve uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, hoists, elevated or confined areas, moving mechanical equipment, varied weather, and moderate to loud noise. The work is physically active and includes frequent standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, and carrying materials. Employees are expected to follow Clark’s safety policies and applicable laws. This is a demanding, high-performance role that may require extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines. Employees may also need to monitor and respond to communications outside regular working hours for time-sensitive matters or emergencies. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and random quarterly testing are required. Clark offers base salary, bonus potential, and a comprehensive benefits package. The stated base salary range is $70,500–$85,000; compensation may vary based on factors including education, experience, skills, and geographic location.
