About The Position

Luster is building a talent pool for future Document Control Manager roles supporting large, complex heavy-civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, bus and rail transit, international airports, and water/wastewater projects using traditional and alternative delivery methods.

Document Control Managers own the program record and the systems, procedures, and controls that keep drawings, submittals, RFIs, and correspondence current, traceable, and defensible.

The scope and complexity of responsibilities increase with experience level.

The position requires a bachelor’s degree in a related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience, along with at least 10 years of document control experience on large, complex heavy-civil infrastructure projects valued above $500 million. The expected salary range is $110,000–$175,000 per year ($53–$84 per hour), with the actual offer dependent on factors including experience, skills, education, certifications, and geographic location.
