You know construction billing. Not just the invoicing - though you know that too. You've built a Schedule of Values that actually holds up through a project, caught the pay application that didn't match the contract before it went out the door, and kept a bonding spreadsheet nobody has to double-check. You've done the compliance paperwork and the payment tracking, but your real value is in catching the problem before it becomes a past-due receivable, a lapsed bond, or a payment release that got authorized too soon.What you're looking for now is different.You want to be embedded in a company that actually builds things - heavy industrial, structural steel, field-erected tanks - where the billing and compliance work isn't detached from the field. You want to work with Project Managers who care about getting the numbers right the first time. You want ownership over the financial side of a project, not just data entry.That's T BAILEY.We're a heavy civil and industrial contractor based in Anacortes, Washington. We self-perform critical scopes, fabricate in-house, and take on complex work - field-erected steel tanks, structural steel, and civil infrastructure. We've been doing it since 1991, and the standard here is high. Getting billings, bonding, and compliance right is part of how we protect that standard, and we need someone who gets that.What the Role Actually Looks LikeThis isn't a back-office data-entry role. It's not just processing what lands on your desk. You'll manage billing, bonding, subcontractor compliance, certified payroll, and project financial documentation across our construction projects - and you'll be forward-facing with the people who matter: project Owners, other General Contractors, Engineers, and our lower-tier Subcontractors and Suppliers.On any given month, you'll:Prepare and distribute monthly project billings, including Schedule of Values (SOV) maintenance, supporting documentation, and submission to customersCoordinate with Project Managers to keep subcontractor billings aligned with outgoing owner billings, so the company is never under- or over-billedTrack incoming payments, follow up on past-due receivables, and monitor subcontractor payment entries and releasesOrder and track performance, payment, retainage, and bid bonds - and keep a bonding spreadsheet that actually reflects what's active, expiring, and owedCollect, verify, and distribute certified payroll reports, and file the Statements of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages and Affidavits of Wages Paid that keep public works payments moving on Washington projectsMaintain subcontractor compliance tracking - insurance certificates, licenses, workers' compensation coverage, executed subcontracts, and SAM.gov verification - and authorize payment releases accordinglyCoordinate change order pricing, schedule impacts, and documentation with lower-tier subcontractors before anything gets executedManage the financial and compliance components of project setup and closeout, including final lien releases, retainage documentation, and bond releasesWhile this is primarily an office role, you'll occasionally be out in the shop, the coatings facility, or on a job site - comfortable with stairs, ladders, and PPE when the work calls for it.The People You'll Work WithThe CFOWorking closely together to keep billings accurate, cash coming in, and compliance obligations covered before they become problems.Project ManagersPMs who need someone who catches billing and compliance issues before they land on their desk.
