Job Title: Document Controller

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Description

• The Document Controller is the information custodian of the project.
• On a multi-block simultaneous build with multiple consultants, many subcontractors, and thousands of drawings and documents, the document control system is not a support function; it is a project safety and quality system.
• The wrong drawing on site can cause structural errors; the wrong document can create contractual exposure. This role prevents both.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the project document management system; ensure all team members use the system correctly and consistently.
• Maintain the master drawing register for all disciplines including architecture, structure, MEP, civil, and specialist; update with every new issue and revision.
• Issue all incoming drawings from consultants to the site team via the document management system; obtain transmission receipts.
• Ensure that only current-revision drawings are accessible on site; manage the withdrawal and archiving of all superseded drawings.
• Maintain all project correspondence registers: RFI log, Architect's Instruction log, site instruction log, transmittal log, and formal letter register.
• Manage all incoming and outgoing formal correspondence; ensure all documents are correctly named, numbered, and filed.
• Support the Design and Architectural Manager with drawing status reporting.
• Archive all project documents progressively; produce the final project document archive at project closeout.

 Qualifications and Experience
Education:

• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field; formal document control training or certification is an advantage.

Experiences:

• Minimum 6 years of document control experience on major construction projects.
• Proficiency in Procore, Aconex, or equivalent document management platform.

Skills:

• Strong MS Office skills; excellent attention to detail.
• Absolute precision and consistency in document naming, numbering, and filing.
• Proactive in identifying and correcting document control non-compliance by other team members.
• Highly organised; thrives in a high-volume information environment.
