Project Coordinator

POSITION SUMMARY: The Project Coordinator supports project managers and technical teams throughout the full project lifecycle—from initial project setup through design, construction administration, and closeout. This position is responsible for maintaining project organization, coordinating administrative and financial requirements, tracking deliverables, and helping the team meet contractual obligations, budgets, and schedules.

The successful candidate will be proactive, highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable coordinating multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced engineering and construction environment.

DURING YOUR WORK-DAY, YOU WILL:

• Track and coordinate RFIs, submittals, design comments, meeting minutes, action items, and construction administration documentation.
• Maintain logs for RFIs, submittals, deliverables, permits, reviews, and other project-related activities.
• Format, edit, assemble, and maintain project specifications in coordination with project managers and technical staff, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance with company standards and project requirements.
• Coordinate the assembly, formatting, quality review, and issuance of field reports, project narratives, design packages, and other project deliverables.
• Work closely with project managers and accounting personnel to establish project setup, including project numbers, budgets, phases, consultant agreements, and other administrative requirements.
• Assist project managers with reviewing project performance and identifying financial or scheduling items requiring follow-up.
• Monitor project schedules, milestones, and deliverable dates, and communicate upcoming deadlines to project managers and discipline leaders.
• Support the preparation and processing of contracts, subcontracts, consultant agreements, amendments, additional service requests, and change documentation.
• Track action items and follow up with responsible team members to confirm completion.
• Support document control, file organization, and compliance with established company procedures.
• Provide additional project and administrative support as needed to keep projects organized and progress efficiently.

Work Location and Schedule

• This is primarily an in-office position, requiring a minimum of four days per week in the office during the initial onboarding and training period.

• Ability to work independently, anticipate project needs, and initiate appropriate action without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Demonstrated ownership of assigned responsibilities, including consistent follow-through until tasks are completed.
• Professional judgment and confidence to request information, clarify expectations, escalate concerns, and hold team members accountable for required follow-up.
