Due to continued growth, they are now seeking a Project Coordinator to act as the operational hub for their core projects team, ensuring multiple live projects are delivered smoothly, accurately and professionally.

The Role

This is not a traditional admin role. You will play a key part in keeping projects moving, supporting planning, communication, compliance and coordination across multiple sites.

Working closely with senior operational leadership and project delivery teams, you will bring structure, organisation and proactive support to a busy, fast-moving environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinating surveys, site access and installations
• Managing site communications and check-ins
• Supporting H&S documentation, RAMS and compliance processes
• Assisting with project planning and scheduling activities

• Managing toolbox talk administration
• Supporting reporting, invoicing and revenue tracking
• Responding promptly to client, site and internal enquiries
• Maintaining accurate operational records and systems
• Reducing administrative burden on delivery teams

About You

We are looking for a proactive, detail-focused individual who thrives in a structured, fast-paced environment.

You will ideally have experience in construction, fit-out, subcontracting or project-based environments, although candidates from other operationally focused backgrounds will also be considered.

You will:

• Have experience supporting projects or operations in a fast-paced environment
• Understand (or be quick to grasp) construction processes and terminology
• Be highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Be confident managing multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously
• Communicate clearly and professionally with clients, subcontractors and site teams
• Take ownership and proactively solve problems
• Remain calm and effective under pressure
• Bring a positive, energetic and team-focused approach

The Environment

You’ll be joining a business known for its friendly, professional and down-to-earth culture, where people support each other and take pride in delivering high standards.

The team operates with a strong sense of ownership, without unnecessary hierarchy or micromanagement, making it an ideal environment for someone who is dependable, proactive and keen to develop their career.

Why Apply?

• Be part of a growing business with clear expansion plans
• Work alongside experienced, practical industry professionals
• Take on a role with real responsibility and impact
• Enjoy a stable, long-term position with progression potential
