Job description

Eitri Foundry is looking to grow our operations team by hiring a Project Coordinator for our planned expansion office to be opened in Painesville, Ohio.

Founded in early 2017, Eitri Foundry is a solar project development and EPC firm that is expanding in its core markets of OH, VA, and PA by providing development, engineering, construction management, and project financing services to educational institutions, public power providers, C&I clients, and utility customers. As a part of that process, the Project Coordinator will work with the rest of the team to assist in managing, organizing, documenting, and communicating information on active and in‑development projects.

• Identify potential flaws or vulnerabilities in logistics and scheduling and develop solutions.
• Interface with and support team members including engineers and other design professionals.
• Ongoing monitoring of site activities to gauge site challenges, document feedback from subcontractors, and monitor overall site progress.
