Job Description

The Customer Service Contracts Administrator reviews and interprets customer contracts, purchase orders, terms and conditions, and related project documentation to identify key commercial, compliance, billing, delivery, and order-entry requirements for power distribution projects. This role accurately enters and maintains customer orders in SAP, coordinates customer and vendor setup and portal registrations, maintains organized contract documentation, and collaborates with internal teams to ensure all contract requirements are clearly communicated and completed accurately and on time.

Responsibilities

• Review customer contracts, purchase orders, terms and conditions, and related project documentation to determine commercial, compliance, billing, delivery, and order-entry requirements for power distribution projects.
• Identify and document special contractual requirements and obligations, including payment terms, prevailing wage requirements, certificates of insurance, preliminary notices, conditional and unconditional lien waivers, consignment sales arrangements, liquidated damages or penalty provisions, government or public-works requirements, and other project-specific conditions.
• Recognize missing, conflicting, unusual, or higher-risk contract terms and requirements and escalate them to the appropriate internal resource for review, clarification, or approval before processing orders.
• Create and enter customer sales orders and project information accurately in SAP by translating contract and purchase-order requirements into appropriate customer, pricing, billing, shipping, delivery, and project data.
• Verify contract and order information before releasing orders and update SAP records when approved contract changes, amendments, or corrected information affect existing orders.
• Create and maintain required customer and vendor setup information in SAP, including company details, forms, supporting documentation, and related records to support accurate customer setup and order processing.
• Register and maintain the organizations profiles within applicable customer and vendor portals, including completing registrations, maintaining company information, submitting required documentation, and monitoring portal requirements.
• Maintain complete, organized, and up-to-date contract and order documentation, including contracts, purchase orders, amendments, terms and conditions, insurance documentation, notices, waivers, approvals, portal records, and other supporting project materials.
• Communicate and coordinate contract and order requirements with internal teams to ensure commercial, compliance, billing, documentation, and delivery obligations are understood, necessary information is obtained, discrepancies are resolved, and orders are set up accurately.
• Track outstanding contract requirements and follow through to completion, including required documentation, registrations, notices, waivers, insurance requirements, approvals, and other applicable obligations.
• Support the customer service and support team by reviewing contracts, flagging non-standard or higher-risk terms for internal review, processing purchase orders, and reviewing RFQs.
• Ensure high standards of data accuracy, timeliness, and customer service in all contract administration and order processing activities.

• 2+ years of experience in contract administration, order administration, project coordination, or a closely related role within a manufacturing, construction, or industrial environment.
• Experience reviewing contracts, purchase orders, terms and conditions, and related documentation in a commercial or industrial setting.
• 1+ year of experience using an ERP system for customer or vendor setup, sales order entry, order maintenance, or related transactions; experience with SAP is strongly preferred.
• Order processing experience, including accurate entry, verification, and maintenance of sales orders and project information.
• Experience working in manufacturing or construction environments, with familiarity in power distribution or similar industrial products preferred.
• Ability to identify unusual, conflicting, or higher-risk contract terms and escalate them appropriately rather than making legal changes independently.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data entry, documentation management, and order processing.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to coordinate requirements and resolve discrepancies with internal stakeholders.
• Customer service mindset with the ability to support internal and external stakeholders professionally and efficiently.

• Experience in a construction administration role is beneficial, particularly where prevailing wage and public-works requirements are common.
