Project Coordinator

Must live in Metro Atlanta Area. We will not pay for relocation

POSITION SUMMARY

Johnson Construction Group is seeking a Project Coordinator to support our commercial and residential construction operations.

This position works under the direction of our Project Managers and General Superintendent. You will keep project documentation organized and current, track materials and selections, help the field get what it needs when it needs it, and keep information moving between the jobsite and the office. You will split your time between our Newnan office and active jobsites.

This is a coordination and documentation role, not a management role. You will not run projects and you will not carry budget responsibility. You will learn how projects are run by supporting the people who run them, and there is a clear path into a Project Manager or Superintendent seat for someone who earns it.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Maintain and update project schedules built by the Project Manager

Keep electronic and physical project files organized, current, and correctly named

Track material orders, delivery dates, lead times, client selections, and outstanding approvals

Assemble and file submittals, requests for information, purchase orders, permits, inspection records, and closeout documents

Prepare and distribute meeting notes, action item lists, and project updates

Collect pricing and information from subcontractors and vendors at the Project Manager's direction

Visit jobsites to document progress, take photographs, record conditions, and note punch list items

Produce clean field sketches and markups that other people can work from

Flag missing information, conflicts, and anything that looks like it will cause a delay

Follow up on assigned action items until they are closed

Other project coordination and administrative duties as assigned

COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY RESPONSIBILITIES

Use Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel effectively every day

Build and maintain spreadsheets, trackers, and reports without being walked through it

Work inside our construction management, estimating, and document sharing software

Enter information accurately the first time and keep records current

Learn new software quickly. Our process runs on it.

Communicate clearly and professionally by email, phone, text, and project platforms

Candidates who advance will complete a 30 to 40 minute hands on computer exercise using Outlook, Excel, and Word. It is not a trick. It reflects what the job actually asks you to do.

QUALIFICATIONS

Construction knowledge is required. You do not need to be an expert, but you need to know what the words mean and what happens on a jobsite.

Previous experience as a Project Coordinator, Construction Administrator, Field Coordinator, estimating assistant, or in a trade is preferred

Strong computer skills, especially Excel

Ability to read construction drawings, scopes of work, and project documents

Strong organization and follow through. Nothing gets dropped.

Accuracy and attention to detail

Willingness to ask questions, take direction, and be corrected

Honesty. This one is not negotiable. We would rather hear about a problem early than hear a good story late.

A degree in construction management, business, or a related field is a plus and is not required

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Willingness to travel locally between the office and project sites

Ability to walk active construction sites and navigate uneven surfaces

Ability to climb stairs and ladders when required

Ability to lift up to 50 pounds occasionally

Positive, can do attitude

Self starter with a strong work ethic

Flexible and able to adjust to changing tasks, schedules, and project needs

Willingness to attend technical training and develop new skills

Commitment to safety, quality, professionalism, and customer service

Must live in the Metro Atlanta area. We do not pay relocation.

COMPENSATION

$52,000 to $62,000 per year, depending on experience.
