Hudson Entry & Automation, based in London, Ontario, is seeking an Operations Coordinator—Projects, Service & Estimating. The role focuses on moving projects from quote to install, coordinating scope, materials, and timelines while supporting quotes and dispatch operations.
You will oversee invoicing and closeout, ensure accurate documentation, and help keep the field and office in sync for efficient project delivery.
Operations Coordinator — Projects, Service & Estimating London, Ontario Full-time CA$55,000–CA$80,000 We Don’t Just Hire People — We Build Teammates. Hudson Entry & Automation is a construction ...
Hudson Entry & Automation is a construction and service company. We design, install, service, and maintain the systems that let people and vehicles in — and keep the wrong ones out.
The work lives on jobsites, in drawings, on a dispatch board, and in a quote. Concrete, steel, conduit, motors, controls, and hardware — not a call centre with a construction logo on it.
We protect people, property, and livelihoods. We never forget the responsibility that comes with that.
We take the work seriously and treat people properly. The days are demanding. The humour is real. The standard doesn’t move.
If you can keep a trade operation moving when the day gets loud — and you already understand construction well enough that we are not teaching you what a site is — keep reading.
You are air traffic control for a specialty construction and service company.
A plant calls: the sliding gate is dead, and trucks are stacked at the fence.
A contractor emails a door schedule and wants a quote tomorrow.
A technician is on a ladder, needs a part, and the customer is standing there.
A project is waiting on a drawing clarification, a lead time, and a crew day.
You turn that chaos into a scheduled job, a scoped quote, and a clean invoice, and a customer who does not have to chase anyone.
This is a project-first operations seat. Most of the time, you are moving jobs from quote to schedule to install to closeout: scope, paperwork, materials, customer updates, and the hand-offs that keep a project from stalling.
When service needs backup, you step in on dispatch and follow-up. When a quote needs to get out, you help build it. “That’s not my job” is not a thing here. The work in front of the customer is the job.
Project coordination:
This is the core of the seat. You keep installs moving from booked to done: scope, drawings, materials, crew days, customer updates, documentation, and handoffs. You watch lead times, catch missing hardware or access pieces before the site does, and keep the project from stalling between office and field.
Quoting, as required:
When a quote needs to go out, you help build it. Pull scope from notes, photos, drawings, door schedules, and technician input. Price labour, materials, travel, and reality. Follow up so the work can actually get scheduled.
You do not need to arrive as a senior estimator. You do need to recognize a hollow metal frame, an operator, a reader, a loop, a closer, and a dock leveller — and know when a quote is missing something that will blow up on site.
Service dispatch backup:
When the board gets heavy, you step in. Help schedule and dispatch technicians across gates, overhead doors, hardware, access, and locksmithing. Adjust when a site runs long, a part is late, or an emergency jumps the queue. You assist service. You do not get to say the board is someone else’s problem.
Invoicing and closeout:
Get completed work invoiced accurately. Chase missing notes, photos, and sign-offs. A job is not finished because someone left the site.
The operating system:
Keep records clean. Track job progress. Hold the line on digital documentation. If the field system is messy, everything downstream gets expensive.
If it needs doing, you do it. “That’s not my job” is not a thing in this position.
This is a high-performance team, not an unconditional family. Belonging is earned. Skills we can teach. Construction literacy we cannot start from zero.
You will run a cloud-based field management system for projects, scheduling, quoting, and invoicing, plus digital work orders, drawings, modern internal comms, and our internal AI-powered intranet. We will teach our systems. We will not teach you what a jobsite is.
Strong assets: quoting from drawings or door schedules, project documentation, AutoCAD, vendor and parts coordination, field-service software, and direct experience with commercial doors, gates, operators, or access control.
