POSITION SCOPE AND ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT
Moss’ PWA Compliance Liaison supports the execution of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship (PWA) compliance at the project/site level.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, proactive professional who can operate in a fast-paced, high-travel environment while building trusted relationships with field teams.
