Job Description:
The URS AFCAP Program performs annually over $150M of work on overseas and domestic projects. We generally manage 10 or so separate projects, and submit proposals for approximately 30 tasks each year. The detailed management of each task requires accurate pricing during the bidding process; establishing and tracking task execution budgets for labor, travel, ODCs, subcontracts, materials, equipment and other overhead expenses; preparing and entering project financial performance records into the corporate financial system; analyzing cost and transaction reports to ensure accuracy and conformance with the budget; reviewing vendor and subcontract invoices to determine accuracy, eligibility for payment and conformance with the established task budget; and preparing required task financial performance summaries and reports.
