About The Position

The Compliance Analyst serves as the project compliance expert across Clark’s portfolio of government-funded construction projects, working with a team of compliance professionals to help 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 and related requirements, managing and reviewing payroll and compliance documentation, and coordinating with project teams, corporate leadership, trade partners, and third parties. It also supports worker-utilization and small-business subcontracting goals, project start-up and close-out, and resolution of audit findings.

Site conditions may include uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, hoists, varied weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined areas, and moving mechanical equipment. The role requires following company safety policies and applicable laws. The position operates in a demanding, high-performance environment and may require extended hours, responsiveness outside regular hours, and attention to time-sensitive matters or emergencies. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and random quarterly tests are required.
