Construction Administration Assistant (Architectural Support Role)
About The Position
This position supports our Construction Administration (CA) team by helping manage coordination between architects, consultants, and contractors during active construction. This is not a generic project management role. The right candidate brings hands-on familiarity with construction documents, RFIs, submittals, and field coordination — someone who understands how details on paper translate into materials, assemblies, and built form. You’ll work alongside Project Architects and CA Project Managers to ensure that projects are executed according to design intent, technical standards, and client expectations.
Requirements
- 1–3 years of experience in architecture, construction coordination, or building technology.
- Understanding of construction drawings, detailing, and specifications.
- Familiarity with RFI and submittal processes.
- Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills.
- Proficiency in Revit, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, Submittal Platforms, and Microsoft Office or similar tools.
Nice To Haves
- Background in architecture, engineering, or construction-related fields preferred.
- (We welcome candidates with general contracting experience who understand architectural documentation and wish to work within a design environment.)
Responsibilities
- Track and assist in reviewing RFIs, submittals, and change orders.
- Support field observation visits, documenting progress and issues.
- Maintain accurate as-built documentation and drawing updates.
- Coordinate communication between project team members and contractors.
- Help manage project logs and CA documentation workflows.
- Participate in quality control efforts during the construction phase.
- Applies a broad understanding of the following building systems during document review: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, security, and low voltage.
- Reference and assists in the research, maintenance, and application of current codes and resolve issues with inspectors and other authorities having jurisdiction.
- Assists with the preparation of plans and specifications, reports, and other deliverables.
- Assists in ordering construction materials and samples when needed.
- Performs other related duties as assigned.
