Commercial Compliance Specialist

Commercial Compliance Specialist

Reports To: Commercial Operating Manager
Status: Full-Time / Permanent / Non-Exempt 
Location: Remote 
Travel: Occasional, as needed (<5%)
Schedule: Monday-Friday, standard business hours in employee's time zone
Compensation: $25.00 to $30.65 per hour

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

The Commercial Compliance Specialist provides single-point ownership of SavATree's commercial compliance function — bringing contracts, certificates of insurance, bid and RFP support, prevailing wage at the contract stage, and GSA Schedule administration under one umbrella. The role exists to support the continued growth of the commercial business by replacing today's shared-services model — where compliance work sits alongside fleet and facilities admin — with a credentialed owner accountable for the consistency, accuracy, and timeliness of SavATree's commercial obligations across our national footprint.

Working in close partnership with the National Commercial Manager, Commercial Operating Manager, Payroll leadership, branch teams, customers, and government agencies, the Specialist safeguards contractual obligations, maintains regulatory compliance, and upholds consistent commercial standards across all SavATree operating states.

• Review, redline, and process commercial contracts — including MSAs, customer agreements, property management agreements, NDAs, and service contracts
• Maintain the commercial contract repository and track renewals, expirations, and key contract milestones
• Coordinate certificate of insurance (COI) requests, renewals, and tracking with carriers and customers
• Route executed contracts for officer signature and maintain the signature workflow

Bid & Pre-Award Support

• Review large RFPs prior to submission to flag risk terms, compliance triggers, scope gaps, and unfavorable language before bids go out
• Prepare pre-bid checklists, bid bonds, and performance bonds in coordination with commercial and operations teams

• Package wage documentation into bid submissions and provide a clean handoff to Payroll upon contract award

• Prepare for and respond to GSA audits, including Contractor Assessments and Industrial Operations Analyst (IOA) reviews

Prevailing Wage — Commercial Side

• Capture and document wage determinations at the contract and RFP stage, before work begins
