AIA Billing Specialist
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours
About the Role
We are hiring a detail-driven AIA Billing Specialist to own the contracts, billing, bonding, and documentation operations of an active and growing commercial construction organization.
This is not a general administrative role. We are specifically looking for someone who has worked remotely with a U.S.-based general contractor or commercial construction company and has direct, hands-on experience with AIA billing, Schedule of Values (SOV), and construction bonding processes.
If you have supported commercial construction projects end-to-end—managing AIA payment applications, tracking retainage, coordinating bonds, and maintaining accurate project documentation—this role was built for you.
You will serve as the operational backbone that keeps contracts, billing, and project administration running accurately and on time across multiple active projects.

- Track contract documentation and ensure compliance with contractual obligations.

- Prepare and submit AIA billing packages (G702/G703) for commercial construction projects.
- Maintain and update Schedule of Values (SOV) documentation across active projects.
- Track retainage and monitor project payment milestones.
- Ensure billing submissions are completed accurately and submitted on time.
- Proactively identify and flag billing or payment issues before they impact project cash flow.
Project Systems & Documentation
- Maintain project records, schedules, milestones, and documentation within Buildertrend or similar construction management platforms.
- Ensure all project information is organized, accurate, and up to date.
- Maintain CRM and project management system data integrity across active and completed projects.
- Support leadership reporting and project visibility initiatives.
Administrative & Communication Support
- Manage inbound and outbound communications with clients, contractors, vendors, and project stakeholders.
- Support pre-construction and pre-sales administrative activities.
- Organize project documentation, contracts, permits, and supporting records.
- Participate in weekly project meetings and provide status updates on assigned responsibilities.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You have direct experience supporting commercial construction projects in the United States.
- You understand construction contracts, billing processes, and bonding requirements.
- You thrive in structured, deadline-driven environments.
- You proactively identify issues before they become project delays.
- You are highly organized and can manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- You work independently and require minimal supervision.
