Job Summary
The Project Coordinator is the vital link between our field crews and the office project team. Spending roughly 70% of your time on job sites and 30 % in the office, you will transform daily production inputs into actionable intelligence, curb avoidable rental expense, and surface re‑work or scope‑creep risks before they erode margin. This role is ideal for early‑career professionals or military veterans who are analytical, enjoy being outdoors, and want a fast track into operations management.

- Rental & Owned‑Equipment Oversight - Review telematics each morning; when utilization falls below targets, work with operations on next steps, prepare off-rent or redeployment recommendations for the Superintendent and Project Manager.
- Change‑Order First Response - Walk sites daily; when scope creep is observed, email Operations and PMs within two hours, attaching photos and a concise description to initiate the change‑order workflow.
- Re‑work & QC Patrol - Track re‑work items in HeavyJob, noting observations and probable causes in partnership with the Superintendent; support punch‑list close‑out.
- Look‑Ahead Schedule Alignment - Attend progress meetings, obtain the Superintendent’s three‑week look‑ahead, and flag upcoming resource or rental conflicts early.
- Safety & Incident Support - Assist the Safety Manager with Job‑Safety Analyses (JSAs) and accident/near‑miss reporting as required.
- Weekly Flash Reporting - Compile production reports, equipment utilization, and change‑order aging into a dashboard for team.

- Basic ability to read civil plans, grade stakes, and production rates.
- Clear, confident communicator—able to interact with foremen and leadership alike.
- Strong organization and follow-through; comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Valid driver’s license with clean MVR; OSHA‑10 (or ability to earn within 30 days).
What We Offer
