The Project Management Assistant (PMA) will work with Project Managers to enter these contract requests into their system. The Project Managers will send the PMA the information needed to enter the request, and the PMA is responsible for timely and professional communication with the Project Manager and detailed data entry. The PMAs are also responsible for resolving any data discrepancies if the information received is not consistent with other sources.

• Create and manage contract requisitions (CREQ) in AS8, including all project information found in proposals
