MWH Constructors is a global leader in heavy civil construction of water and wastewater facilities. We are currently seeking a Contracts Administrator to support a large a 7+year/$1.5b JV wastewater infrastructure project in San Francisco, CA. This position will report to the Contracts Manager with the option for a hybrid schedule allowing for the work location to be both project-based and remote. 

This project is very unique in that it involves a new, cutting edge technology in the US wastewater market called Thermal Hydrolysis. This process has the following sustainability benefits:

When completed, this will be one of only a handful of Thermal Hydrolysis wastewater treatment plants in operation in the entire U.S.
