Job description


Because our backlog continues to grow, we are seeking a Project Coordinator to support our Project Managers and technical teams delivering high-quality site and civil engineering projects. This role is an integral part of our project delivery process and is well suited for an organized, proactive professional who values teamwork, accountability, and attention to detail.
The Project Coordinator works closely with project leadership and technical staff to help ensure projects are well organized, contractually compliant, and executed efficiently from planning through closeout.
