• Processing master sign criteria from initial city submittal through final approval.
• Reviewing tenant signage submittals for city permitting.
• Participating in the selection and coordination of signage vendors for bidding, contracting, fabrication, and installation.
• Working with Leasing Managers to coordinate tenant sign-panel allocations and reimbursements.

Experience for success:

• 2–4+ years of administrative experience preferred, ideally within retail or commercial property management, construction, or a related environment.
• Proven organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and requests simultaneously.
• Ability and interest in learning to read construction documents and plans, including architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Ability to learn company systems such as Bottomline, JDE, MRI, and other software applications.
• Previous experience as a Project Coordinator is a plus.
• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation may be required for occasional travel to Company properties.
