Contract Administrator III

MAAS Companies • Los Angeles, CA

20d • Onsite

About The Position

The Work LACCD runs one of the largest community college building programs in the state, and every contract that program awards starts with a clean, defensible procurement. As a Contract Administrator III on the Project Management Office (PMO) Contracts Team, you own that process: you build and run the competitive bid and selection processes that put general contractors, design-build teams, architects, engineers, and inspectors under contract, from planning all the way through award. You prepare the procurement packages, addenda, evaluation materials, approval documentation, award documentation, and the contract documents themselves. You run several procurements at once for different stakeholders, and you keep every one of them tracked, reported, and audit-ready, because this work is under constant internal and external review. It is a detail-driven, compliance-heavy role with minimal administrative support, so your organization and accuracy carry it. This position is fully in the PMO office, with no remote or hybrid option per District policy.
