Department: Electric Utilities
Reports To: Senior Project Manager
Location: Fort Worth, TX

The Project Billing Specialist is a dedicated billing and project-controls resource embedded in Landpoint's Electric Utilities market, reporting directly to the Director of Electric Utilities. This role turns project scope, schedule, and field documentation into accurate, on-time invoices, and manages the resulting receivables through collection. The Specialist works closely with Project Managers to understand the scope of work and status of each project, drafts invoices in both the company's project management system and client billing portals per client-specific instructions, and tracks aging and collections for the market. Prior project management or project controls experience is valued, since the role requires reading contracts, change orders, and daily/field reports well enough to bill against them accurately.
