- Efficient w/ Systems: Someone comfortable using tools like Asana (or similar), spreadsheets, and shared docs to track actions and communicate status.
- Proactive & Inquisitive: An individual eager to learn construction processes, ask great questions, and continuously improve the playbook.
- Reliable Communicator: A team player who can communicate clearly with internal partners and external vendors, escalating issues early when needed.
What You'll Own- Project Tracking & Reporting: Maintain project trackers, action logs, and weekly updates so stakeholders have clear visibility to schedule, scope, and risks.
- Vendor / Consultant Coordination: Support coordination with architects, general contractors, and vendors to keep deliverables on track.
- Budget & Change Support: Help track commitments, invoices, and change orders; flag variances and support documentation for approvals.
- Procurement & Lead-Time Tracking: Assist with tracking long-lead items (equipment/FF&E/finish packages), delivery dates, and readiness for install.
- Site Visits & Field Coordination: Conduct ad-hoc site visits/punch walks, document open items, and help drive follow-through with GCs, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
- Permitting & Municipal Coordination: Track permitting submissions/approvals and support coordination with landlords, permit expediters, agencies, and municipalities (including attending hearings/meetings as needed) to keep projects unblocked.
- Meeting Cadence & Follow-Through: Schedule and run ad-hoc working sessions, capture decisions, and publish clear action items and due dates to keep execution moving.
- Closeout Support: Evolve to help drive punchlist, turnover documentation, and closeout materials to enable smooth handoff to Facilities/Ops.
Requirements- Project Coordination Experience: 1-3 years supporting construction, facilities, engineering, or similar project-based work (internships/co-ops welcomed).
- Organization Skills: Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple timelines and stakeholders.
- Communication: Clear communication skills to coordinate across cross-functional teams and external partners.
