Horizon Parking are an industry leading car park management company who provide parking solutions for many recognised brands across the UK. Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of expanding projects we are now looking for an experienced Projects Coordinator to join our new signage team and become Horizon Parking's specialist Signage Coordinator.

This role would be ideal for an individual who is currently working in a Project Management/Coordinator style position but is looking for a move and would be excited by the challenge of joining our signage division to take ownership of this brand new position and become Horizon Parking's "signage subject matter expert".

Working from our head office in Chelmsford the key responisibilities for our Signage Coordinator would be (but not limited to):

Catalogue & Technical Ownership: Own and maintain the central controlled signage catalogue-managing approved sign types, layouts, legal wording, material specifications, and version histories to prevent obsolete items from being ordered.
Compliance & Legal Alignment: Apply working knowledge of the BPA Code of Practice, statutory legislation, and site contracts to ensure correct legal and operational wording; liaise with Legal and Compliance teams for complex or non-standard sign approvals.
Order Specification & Proof Sign-Off: Review installation requests to determine exact sign types, fixings, dimensions, and overlays. Take full responsibility for checking, approving, and signing off supplier production proofs before manufacturing begins.
Bespoke Project Support: Partner with Project Delivery Managers on complex or custom sites-producing compliant artwork, managing production requirements, and coordinating on-time deliveries.
Quality & Version Control: Conduct rigorous multi-stage checks to eliminate errors, manage change notifications to suppliers, and audit completed installations against original site plans.
Systems, Readiness & Cost Control: Keep accurate, auditable records in Freshservice; confirm job readiness with the Installation team; and minimise waste through effective use of overlays and standardized specifications.

Other duties include:

Liaise with Project Managers, Legal teams, and suppliers to deliver compliant, error-free signage solutions.
Sign off signage artwork proofs before production.
Preparing project specifications
Ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Take ownership and maintain the group's central signage catalogue.
Act as the signage main point of contact internally for the group.
Review and develop signage briefs.
Monitor project costs and profitability.
Ensure all signage and branding are fully compliant to current British Parking Association (BPA) regulations and legal standards.
Act as our technical subject matter expert for all car park signage, overlays and material specifications.
Manage all deadlines for relevant contracts and communicate to the various teams involved.
Manage multiple signage projects simultaneously.
