The Role

The Pre-Qualification Coordinator supports Willmeng’s trade partner onboarding and renewal process by coordinating document intake, tracking compliance requirements, maintaining accurate records, and communicating with trade partners and internal Estimating and Project Operations teams. This role helps ensure trade partners meet Willmeng’s prequalification standards and project requirements, enabling efficient contracting, mobilization, and ongoing compliance.

This role requires detail-oriented document control, disciplined follow-up and deadline management, professional communication, and cross-departmental coordination, all approached with process discipline and a continuous improvement mindset. The work is primarily office-based with prolonged computer use, occasional lifting of office materials up to 25 lbs., and occasional jobsite visits for orientation or coordination. Success means prequalification and renewal files that are complete, accurate, and easy to audit; shorter submission-to-approval cycle times through proactive follow-up; few or no mobilization delays from missing or expired documents; and positive feedback from trade partners and internal stakeholders on responsiveness and clarity.
