HCSS Construction Software Administrator

Yellowstone Local is proud to represent Alliance Construction, an industry leader in heavy civil construction.

Alliance is looking for someone who knows HCSS inside and out and wants to use it to drive accuracy, profitability, and operational performance across the entire company. If you understand how estimating, field production, and job costing connect inside heavy civil construction, this is your opportunity to own the systems that keep it all running.

Most construction companies install software and hope people figure it out.

This is not that.

Alliance is looking for someone who understands that systems drive performance. The right person will take ownership of the HCSS ecosystem and ensure that data flows correctly from estimating to the field to leadership decision making.

If you are someone who simply manages software access or waits for someone to ask for help, this role will frustrate you. If you enjoy building systems that improve job costing, production tracking, and operational visibility, you will do well here.

About Alliance Construction

Alliance Construction is a growing heavy civil contractor based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The company builds infrastructure projects that support communities and regional growth.

Their leadership team believes operational excellence starts with strong systems, accurate data, and disciplined communication between estimating, field teams, and management.

That is where this role comes in.

Why This Role Exists

Heavy civil construction runs on accurate information. Estimating, production tracking, labor reporting, and equipment utilization all feed into the same question: Are we executing jobs profitably?

HCSS is the backbone that makes that possible.

This role exists to own the HCSS ecosystem across the company. The person in this seat ensures that budgets move correctly from estimating into field operations, that job cost tracking stays accurate, and that leadership has real time visibility into production and performance.

You will not just maintain the system. You will improve how the company uses it.
