Periodic travel and coordination with program leadership, Client representatives, contractors, consultants, technology vendors, and on-site personnel may be required. 

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead the Information Branch and administer the program’s document control and records-management functions.
• Develop and maintain the Document Control Plan, procedures, workflows, templates, numbering standards, metadata requirements, revision controls, and records-retention practices.
• Manage the receipt, registration, review, routing, distribution, tracking, storage, retrieval, archiving, and final disposition of controlled project information.
• Manage document workflows for drawings, specifications, calculations, correspondence, transmittals, submittals, requests for information, changes, inspection records, and commissioning documents.
• Maintain master document, correspondence, submittal, request-for-information, transmittal, and contractual-deliverable registers.
• Monitor document reviews, comments, approvals, resubmissions, overdue actions, and backlogs; escalate issues that could affect project performance.
• Ensure authorized personnel have access to current, approved documents and that obsolete or superseded information is removed from active use.
• Coordinate document requirements with engineering, construction management, project controls, procurement, quality, safety, commissioning, contractors, and consultants.
• Support the configuration and administration of document workflows, metadata, permissions, notifications, dashboards, and reports within the PMIS.
• Perform document and metadata quality reviews and coordinate the correction of incomplete, duplicated, misclassified, or incorrectly revised records.
• Direct assigned document-control personnel, establish priorities, balance workloads, monitor performance, and provide procedural guidance.
• Develop user instructions and provide document-control and PMIS training to employees, Client representatives, contractors, consultants, and other authorized users.
• Produce status reports and performance metrics covering review duration, overdue actions, submission quality, backlog, and required deliverables.
• Protect confidential, proprietary, procurement-sensitive, security-controlled, and business-sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
• Support audits, claims analysis, compliance reviews, and authorized records requests by providing complete and traceable documentation.
• Coordinate phased turnover and final records, including record drawings, operating manuals, warranties, test results, permits, certificates, training records, and acceptance documentation.
• Identify opportunities to automate workflows, improve PMIS use, strengthen controls, reduce processing time, and enhance information quality.
• Work remotely during the first year, with the expectation of residing within commuting distance of Little Rock, Arkansas, or relocating to the area thereafter.
• Support periodic travel and coordination with program leadership, Client representatives, contractors, consultants, technology vendors, and on-site personnel.
