Project Administrator

Project Administrator (Contract)
Location: Verona, Pennsylvania (15 minutes outside Pittsburgh) - Onsite
Contract: 6-month renewable contract
Compensation: Hourly rate + per diem (where applicable)
About the Opportunity
Join a globally recognized industry leader at the forefront of metals production and infrastructure innovation. This is an opportunity to be part of a high-impact capital project within a dynamic industrial environment, where investment, activity, and long-term growth are accelerating.
The site, located just outside Pittsburgh, is entering a critical execution phase-with construction mobilizing, equipment arriving, and project momentum building rapidly. This role offers the chance to work alongside experienced project leadership on a live, fast-moving project where your contribution will be visible, valued, and essential to delivery.
This is not a typical administrative role. It's a hands-on, project-facing position where you'll sit at the center of operations-supporting engineering, construction, procurement, and field execution teams to keep everything aligned and moving forward.
Position Overview
The Project Administrator plays a key role in supporting project execution by managing documentation, coordinating logistics, tracking materials, and ensuring seamless communication across stakeholders.
This position requires someone who understands how projects actually run-someone who can operate comfortably between the office and the field, proactively chase information, and keep teams organized in a fast-paced construction environment.
What You'll Be Doing
Project Documentation & Controls
- Maintain project schedules, logs, trackers, and documentation systems
- Manage daily reports, timesheets, and weekly progress updates
- Track RFIs, submittals, and change orders-ensuring timely follow-up with engineering and field teams
- Prepare meeting minutes and distribute clear, actionable updates
Material Coordination & Site Logistics
- Coordinate onsite material deliveries with freight providers and dispatch teams
- Act as the central point of contact for incoming deliveries and site personnel
- Maintain and update material tracking logs to ensure visibility across the project
- Support procurement activities and equipment/material planning
Communication & Team Coordination
- Serve as a key communication hub between project leadership, field engineers, contractors, and vendors
- Ensure accurate and timely distribution of drawings, specifications, and project updates
- Proactively follow up on outstanding actions to keep the project moving
Planning & Execution Support
- Assist with workforce planning, mobilization, and resource tracking
- Support project leadership with weekly and monthly reporting
- Help maintain alignment between construction progress and project plans
Quality, Safety & Compliance
- Track inspections, permits, and compliance documentation
- Maintain safety records and support adherence to site standards
- Ensure all documentation aligns with contractual and regulatory requirements
Administrative & Operational Support
- Organize and maintain project files, drawings, and digital systems
- Coordinate meetings, calendars, and workflows for project leadership
- Support cost tracking, invoice processing, and project reporting where required
What We're Looking For
Required
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent communication skills-comfortable working with both field and office teams
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
- Proven ability to follow through, chase actions, and keep teams accountable
Preferred
- Experience in construction, engineering, manufacturing, or industrial project environments
- Familiarity with project workflows (RFIs, submittals, procurement, scheduling, etc.)
- Experience with project management tools (e.g., Procore, MS Project, Smartsheet)
What Sets This Role Apart
- Not a standard admin role - this is a "project admin on steroids," requiring real project awareness and initiative
- High visibility - you'll work directly with project leadership and site management
- Hands-on involvement - exposure to engineering, procurement, construction, and operations
- Fast-moving environment - ideal for someone who thrives when things are busy and evolving
- Strong team culture - working closely with experienced professionals who value capable, proactive individuals
Why This Opportunity
This is a unique chance to step into a critical role at the heart of a live project, where you'll gain meaningful experience across multiple project functions. For the right person, this can open doors to longer-term opportunities across future projects as activity continues to grow.
