  • Manage EDMS/CDE workflows and monitor overdue actions, missing attachments, coding errors, distribution gaps, and pending responses.

  • Ability to work independently and maintain accurate records in high-volume site-based conditions.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, PDF tools, and document-control reporting.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication.
  • Advanced ACONEX knowledge is strongly preferred; SharePoint, ACC, BIM 360, or other EDMS/CDE experience is advantageous.
