Project Information Specialist

Project Information Specialist

Master Builders of Iowa is expanding how Iowa's construction industry discovers and tracks projects. Alongside our established project newsletter - a free benefit available to all 500+ member firms - we are launching MBI Source1, a new digital platform offering advanced project discovery and bid management tools for members who want deeper capabilities.

The Project Information Specialist plays a critical role in both. You will be the backbone of MBI's project information operation: curating and validating construction project data, supporting members by phone, email, and chat, and building relationships with architects, engineers, and owners across Iowa to keep our project information current and complete.

This role works alongside AI-powered tools to research, gather, and verify project data - not replacing judgment, but extending it. You will be expected to interrogate AI-generated results critically, catch errors, and apply your own research skills and construction knowledge to ensure members get information they can trust.

What You'll Spend Your Time On:

• Data Research, Validation & Entry - ~30%
• Member & Customer Support - ~30%
• Outreach & Relationship Building - ~20%
• Administration - ~10%

Key Responsibilities:

• Exceptional attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Comfort working alongside AI tools
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Customer service orientation and a positive, professional attitude
• Ability to work independently and contribute effectively as part of a small team

Qualifications:

• Experience in the Iowa construction industry or commercial building sector
• Experience with construction project estimating, plan reading, or bid preparation
• Prior work with construction project management platforms, plan rooms, or document management systems
• Experience in data entry, administrative support, or project coordination roles
• Familiarity with public procurement processes and agency bid sources in Iowa
• Comfort working in a small but dynamic team environment!
