• Track contract terms, SINs (where applicable), labor categories, pricing, CLINs, options, and expiration dates.
• Ensure compliance with FAR clauses, wage determinations, subcontracting requirements, and reporting obligations.
• Maintain and update SAM.gov, GSA Advantage, eOffer/eMod, and other required federal systems.
• Monitor FAR updates, agency supplements, and regulatory changes and communicate impacts to leadership.
• Keep all contract files organized, inspection‑ready, and compliant.

Lead and Manage Federal Contract Projects from Award to Close‑Out

• Serve as the end‑to‑end owner for federal environmental services projects, regardless of contract vehicle.
• Lead project kickoff upon award, confirming scope, deliverables, timelines, and compliance requirements.

• Manage schedules, milestones, change orders, modifications, and risk.
• Ensure adherence to contract‑specific performance standards, reporting requirements, and documentation.

Manage Federal Procurement, Ordering & Invoicing

• Execute compliant and timely ordering and payment processes across federal contracts.
• Manage task orders, delivery orders, purchase orders, and contract modifications.
• Verify work aligns with contract pricing, labor categories, CLINs, and FAR requirements.
• Submit compliant invoices through GSA portals, WAWF, IPP, or agency‑specific systems.
• Track invoice status, payment timelines, and resolve discrepancies with contracting officers.
• Coordinate with accounting on revenue recognition, retainage, and delayed payments.
• Ensure documentation supports audits and payment reviews.

Build and Maintain the Federal Opportunity Pipeline

• Monitor GSA eBuy, SAM.gov, agency portals, and regional procurement platforms for RFQs and RFPs.
• Track task orders, options, renewals, recompetes, and IDIQ usage.
• Identify non‑GSA contract vehicles and agency‑specific opportunities.
• Flag upcoming opportunities, contract expansions, and option years to leadership and sales.
• Maintain a centralized pipeline tracker with stages, deadlines, compliance requirements, and ownership.
• Support proposal development with FAR compliance reviews and required documentation.

Act as the Internal Federal Contracting Leader & Liaison

• Serve as the company’s subject matter expert for GSA and non‑GSA federal contracting.
• Act as the primary liaison with contracting officers, CORs, and agency representatives.
• Provide guidance to sales, operations, and leadership on FAR, federal processes, and best practices.
• Train internal teams on federal compliance, documentation standards, and contract requirements.
• Proactively elevate compliance risks, performance issues, or contract concerns.
• Continuously improve federal project workflows, internal controls, and contracting processes.
• Standardize federal contracting practices across the organization.

Requirements
