Job Overview

CCN is an established bespoke joinery product supplier with full in-house manufacturing facilities based in Belmont Industrial Estate, Durham. We specialise in timber performance doorsets for the education and health sectors as well as many other segments in high end construction.

We are looking to recruit the next generation of Project technicians.

We have a great opportunity for committed ambitious, intelligent people with a solid work ethic and a will to win to join our growing team as Project Coordinators.

This role combines both pre-order and post-order scheduling, with responsibility for preparing quote schedules, drawings, and documentation at tender stage, and supporting live projects through to production.

Working to structured briefs from senior colleagues and Business Development Managers, you will coordinate both pre-order (quote schedules) and post-order (project delivery) activities.

Your role is about accuracy, consistency, and throughput — ensuring projects progress without delay and that all required information is delivered in a timely, organised manner.

Duties and Responsibilities

As Project Coordinator, your responsibilities will span both pre-order and post-order activities. You will prepare quote schedules, drawings, and documentation at tender stage, then support the smooth progression of live projects through production. Working to structured briefs, you will ensure information is accurate, organised, and delivered on time, coordinating across departments to keep projects moving without delay.

• Prepare and maintain project schedules for both tender stage and live project stage.
• Produce detailed & costed quote schedules and supporting documentation from client briefs.
• Translate briefs from senior staff into clear schedules and drawings using in-house systems.
• Assist the senior team with Requests for Information (RFIs), ensuring timely resolution.
• Produce and manage production and approval drawings (CAD training provided).
• Generate accurate bills of materials from automated systems for procurement.
• Coordinate and issue schedule/drawing packs for client approval.
• Maintain well-organised records of project documentation on the server.
• Participate in internal handover meetings to ensure smooth departmental flow.
• Provide general project support as required by business needs.

Development Pathway

We invest in people who are committed to long-term growth. This role comes with a structured development pathway designed to build technical competence and increase responsibility over time:

• 0–6 months: Core induction – learning our scheduling tools, product range, and documentation standards while producing schedules under guidance.
• 6–12 months: Increased responsibility – handling smaller schedules independently and supporting live projects.
• 12–24 months: Full autonomy – managing complex project briefs, producing schedules with minimal supervision, and ensuring seamless order-to-production handover.
• Beyond 24 months: Opportunity to progress into senior coordinator or project management roles, depending on ability and ambition.

Person Specification

You will be a highly motivated, driven individual who puts our customers at the centre of everything you do, you will relentlessly chase down information and remove hurdles in the way of project progress. You will contribute to the growth and success of our business through your skills and experience and you will have:

• A flair for problem solving and high attention to detail are imperatives.
• A reliable, diligent individual with the drive to see tasks through to completion.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in scheduling and documentation.
• Comfortable working to a brief and committed to delivery under pressure.
• Effective communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams.
• Competent in Microsoft Office; CAD/SolidWorks experience beneficial, but training will be given.
• Experience in construction/joinery preferred but not essential.

Package

• Salary: £30,000 – £37,500 depending on experience and ability
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Workplace pension scheme
• Ongoing training and clear career development pathway

If you are ambitious, detail-driven, and looking for a role where you can grow your career in construction and manufacturing, we would like to hear from you. Apply now and take the first step in becoming a key part of CCN’s next generation of project professionals.
