Job description

This is a full-time role with an immediate start available. Initially offered on a temporary basis, you can secure a permanent role within a supportive and growing team.

As a Project Coordinator, you will take on a key role where your organisational skills, communication abilities, and problem-solving mindset will make a real impact. This position is perfect for someone who thrives in a structured yet varied environment and enjoys supporting Project Managers to ensure projects are delivered smoothly, on time, and to a high standard.

You will be part of a collaborative team of four, where you will be relied upon to coordinate day-to-day project activities, maintain clear communication with stakeholders, and keep documentation accurate and up to date.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Use your organisational skills to help manage multiple live projects, ensuring timelines and deliverables are achieved.
• Act as a central point of contact, confidently liaising with colleagues, site staff, clients, and suppliers.
• Keep project records, reports, schedules, and compliance paperwork accurate and up to date.
• Take ownership of emails and telephone calls, ensuring queries are managed efficiently and professionally.
• Contribute to project planning by assisting with workload organisation, resource allocation, and time management.
• Spot potential challenges early and escalate appropriately to keep projects on track.
• Use your initiative to suggest improvements that enhance the efficiency of project delivery.

What You’ll Bring:

• Excellent communication skills – written and verbal – with the confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel); experience with project software is a bonus.
• Previous experience in a Project Coordinator, Project Administrator, or similar role (ideally in engineering, construction, or manufacturing) is advantageous but not essential.
• A proactive approach, with the drive to take initiative and add value.

Working Hours:

• Monday to Friday
• Choice of shifts: 8:30am – 5:00pm or 8:00am – 4:30pm

This is a full-time role with an immediate start available. It begins on a temporary basis, but there is a strong possibility of becoming permanent for the right person.
