About the Role
We are seeking Contracts and Claims Specialists to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs. These roles focus on construction claims and disputes, evaluating claims and requests for equitable adjustment for entitlement and quantum, and developing positions for negotiation and dispute resolution. This is a talent pool for future roles, not a specific open position.
Responsibilities

- Evaluate requests for equitable adjustment and disputed change proposals for entitlement, merit, and cost reasonableness, recommending a supported position.

- Identify unsupported, duplicated, or misclassified amounts.
- Coordinate with scheduling staff to evaluate time impact analyses and time extension requests.
- Assemble the contemporaneous record behind each claim to support the program’s position.
- Verify that notices meet contract timing and content requirements and track responses.
- Develop independent cost estimates and quantity checks to test contractor pricing on disputed changes and claims.
- Prepare claim position papers, findings of fact, and recommendations for decision-makers and dispute resolution panels.
- Support negotiation and settlement of disputed changes and claims.
- Evaluate claims arising in active operating environments with restrictions.
- Coordinate with counsel, claims consultants, project controls, and finance staff on claim strategy and responses.
- Track open claims and disputed exposure by contract for program leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, civil engineering, quantity surveying, finance, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 5+ years of contract administration and construction claims experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
- Experience analyzing or supporting claims, requests for equitable adjustment, or disputed change proposals for entitlement, cost, and schedule impact.
- Working knowledge of standard construction contract terms and public agency contracting requirements.
- Ability to interpret construction contract documents, plans, specifications, and cost and schedule records.
- Experience with industry standard contract administration, document management, and CPM scheduling software (e.g., Unifier, Aconex, e-Builder, Primavera P6, etc.).
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.).
Skills
