Project Coordinator - Construction

We are seeking an organized, proactive Project Coordinator to serve as the operational bridge between our field teams and back-office operations. In this role, you will maintain accurate project data, support billing and compliance requirements, provide key administrative support to Superintendents, and conduct regular site visits to keep projects moving seamlessly while helping build systems that scale.

Key Responsibilities

Field Engagement & Coordination: Conduct weekly or bi-weekly site visits to maintain visibility with field crews, build strong working relationships, and serve as a communication bridge between the field and back office.

Process Improvement: Identify operational bottlenecks, help transition informal processes into structured digital systems, and recommend practical solutions to support company growth.

Project & Material Support: Assist with material ordering, vendor coordination, and general administrative needs across the project lifecycle.

Role Evolution & Career Pathway

While the initial focus centers on data entry, documentation, billing support, and field coordination, this role is designed to evolve as the company grows. Based on performance and career goals, high performers will have opportunities to expand into procurement, estimating, or advance into a broader Project Management role.

• Experience with pay applications, lien waivers, construction billing, or project compliance documentation.
• Experience coordinating materials, vendors, or subcontractors.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means the field has the support it needs, project information is accurate and up to date, billing documentation is complete, and project leadership can rely on you to identify and resolve issues before they become problems.

You will be someone the field trusts, the office can rely on, and leadership can turn to as the company continues to build more scalable project systems.
