Full Job Description
About the Position

The Operations Coordinator will manage daily coordination between management, project teams, field personnel, customers, subcontractors, vendors, and equipment service providers.

This is an operations-focused role-not a traditional administrative or dispatcher position. The coordinator will oversee scheduling, personnel, equipment, maintenance, subcontractors, customer needs, and project documentation.

Key Responsibilities
  • Coordinate daily crews, equipment, trucks, subcontractors, and project schedules.
  • Ensure personnel and equipment are available and properly assigned.
  • Adjust schedules as project conditions and customer needs change.
  • Identify potential scheduling conflicts, equipment shortages, and operational issues.
  • Manage equipment maintenance, repairs, inspections, and preventive-maintenance schedules.
  • Coordinate with mechanics, dealerships, vendors, and equipment service providers.
  • Track equipment availability, downtime, repairs, and maintenance history.
  • Serve as a key operational contact for customers and project teams.
  • Coordinate subcontractors, equipment rentals, vendors, and outside resources.
  • Maintain project schedules, work orders, tickets, and operational documentation.
  • Assist with billing, project closeout, and required project documentation.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience in construction operations, project coordination, fleet/equipment management, or a similar role.
  • Heavy civil, public works, general contracting, equipment rental, or related industry experience preferred.
  • Experience coordinating multiple projects, crews, customers, subcontractors, and equipment.
  • Knowledge of construction or heavy equipment and equipment maintenance.
  • Strong scheduling, organizational, communication, and follow-through skills.
  • Ability to solve problems independently and adjust priorities quickly.
  • Comfortable working directly with field personnel, customers, mechanics, vendors, and subcontractors.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, and related software.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a proactive operations professional, not an order taker. They should be comfortable taking a customer or project request, determining the resources needed, coordinating personnel and equipment, monitoring execution, resolving issues, and ensuring the job is properly documented.

Benefits
  • Highly competitive executive compensation package ($100,000-$125,000)
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company contributions
  • Paid vacation, holidays, and personal time off
  • Professional development, executive leadership training, and advancement opportunities
