What You Will Do

• Project Handover & Document Review:
  • Take over awarded jobs from estimating and review estimates, plans, and site instructions.
  • Compare the quote against each set of drawings and flag mismatches, such as specified fixtures that differ from what was quoted or were discontinued.
  • Raise questions early when something looks off, and follow up until it is resolved.
• Submittals & Contractor Communication:
  • Make sure approved changes show up in the shop drawings and other documents sent to the general contractor.
  • Keep the general contractor informed of changes once they have been cleared internally.
• Reporting & Field Coordination:
  • Collect site updates from field management and turn them into structured reports for upper management and ownership.
  • Help schedule meetings and keep track of where field staff are supposed to be.
  • Work through requests from project managers and site supervisors so the work is ready for them first thing in the morning.
• Multi-Project Support:
  • Manage several active projects (two to four or more) at the same time.
  • Support the estimating team with minor estimating tasks when needed.

Qualifications

• Required Qualifications:
  • Project coordination experience in the construction trades, ideally mechanical contracting, plumbing, or sheet metal. Coordination experience from outside the trades only (software, for example) does not qualify.
  • Able to read and interpret construction plans, drawings, estimates, and site instructions.
  • Excellent written and spoken English.
  • A high level of attention to detail when spotting differences between quotes, drawings, and specifications.
  • A proactive approach: you work independently and flag issues without needing direction.
  • Proven ability to manage several construction projects at once.
• Preferred Qualifications:
  • Some estimating experience in mechanical or plumbing work.
  • Experience preparing or reviewing shop drawings and submittals for general contractors.
