How It Works

Hire Document Controllers in 3 steps

A structured process for the hire that owns the project record — where a weak Document Controller means superseded drawings in the field, unanswered RFI trails, and a turnover package the owner rejects.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on platform (Aconex, ACC, Procore, SharePoint), program scale, document-control procedures, reporting line, and start date.

Step 02

Review talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Document Controllers with platform-matched, sector-matched program history. References from prior PMs and document-control leads included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co

What makes our Document Controller shortlist different

Anyone can claim “Aconex experience.” We verify whether a candidate actually administered the register, enforced numbering and revision discipline across 20+ companies, and closed out a program with an accepted turnover package.

Platform administration verified

Reference-verified admin-level history in Aconex, ACC/BIM 360, Procore, or SharePoint — workflows, distribution matrices, and access control, not just uploading files.

Revision + register discipline

Verified drawing-register accuracy, supersede control, and transmittal discipline across design, subcontractor, and vendor document streams.

Turnover + audit readiness

Reference-verified closeout and turnover-documentation history — O&Ms, as-builts, warranties — plus ISO 9001 or cGMP-adjacent audit exposure where sectors demand it.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every Document Controller

Platform admin depth

Aconex, ACC/BIM 360, Procore, e-Builder, or Unifier administration verified — workflow setup, not just data entry.

Register + revision control

Reference-verified drawing-register and supersede discipline across multi-party document streams.

RFI / submittal log hygiene

Verified log accuracy, ball-in-court tracking, and aging-report discipline that keeps engineers honest.

Turnover documentation

Reference-verified closeout package delivery — O&Ms, as-builts, warranties — accepted by the owner.

Procedure + audit exposure

Document-control procedure authorship or enforcement; ISO 9001 / cGMP documentation exposure where relevant.

Compensation alignment

Document Controller and Lead-level comp bands aligned before finalists are introduced.

FAQ

Hiring a Document Controller: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a Document Controller?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Project-start deadlines can be prioritized.

What does it cost to hire a Document Controller?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer — usually the right model when you’re staffing several support roles at once.

What does a Document Controller earn in 2026?

In most US markets, Document Controllers on capital projects earn roughly $60k–$90k base. Lead or Senior Document Controllers running document control across a mission-critical program typically land $90k–$115k. Platform admin depth and sector move the band.

Which platforms do your candidates cover?

Aconex, Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360, Procore, e-Builder, Unifier, and SharePoint-based systems are core. We match candidates to your platform so day one is administration, not training.

How is a Document Controller different from a Project Administrator?

A Document Controller owns the technical document record — drawings, RFIs, submittals, transmittals, turnover packages. A Project Administrator covers broader project admin: contracts support, insurance certs, meeting minutes, and compliance tracking.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every Document Controller placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.

Can you staff a full project-support team?

Yes. Multi-hire builds (Document Controllers + coordinators, administrators, and analysts) route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
