Remote Raven is hiring a contract administrator on behalf of our client, an established, employee-owned commercial electrical construction company in Arizona serving healthcare, data center, aviation, and higher education projects. This role is critical to smooth project execution: it manages contracts, change orders, and compliance processes from start to finish and serves as the key point of contact for all contract-related matters across internal leadership, external clients, legal counsel, and insurance teams.

The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, and brings strong communication skills to follow up persistently and resolve outstanding tasks without being prompted. This is a role where nothing should slip through the cracks and where the right person takes real ownership of every contract from initiation through execution.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You chase the unanswered email. A contract sitting unsigned for ten days bothers you enough that you follow up without anyone asking you to.
You read the whole document. When two figures are supposed to match, you check that they actually do—and you notice when they don't.
You keep your own scoreboard. At any moment you can say exactly which contracts are out for signature, which change orders are pending, and which insurance items are aging.
You write clearly enough for a lawyer and warmly enough for a project manager, and you switch between the two in the same hour.
You treat waiting on someone else as a task, not an excuse—the follow-up is your job, not the delay.
You take real ownership: when something slips through, you flag it yourself, fix it, and adjust the system so it cannot slip the same way twice.
