Description

Are you an excellent communicator with experience in sales or design coordination?

Due to our continued growth in an increasingly design-led educational furniture market, we are now seeking an efficient and organised Project Coordinator to join our team in Crawley.

This company is dedicated to providing innovative consultancy, furniture and refurbishment solutions for the education market.

This is the ideal role for an ambitious coordinator/administrator with experience in a similar coordinator role looking to take their next step with a dynamic and rapidly growing company.

In this fantastic opening, you'll have the chance to make a real impact on our business growth plans.

If you are looking for a career with genuine opportunities to move up the ladder, then we are a company that wants to help you, guide you, and inspire you to achieve your full potential.

The Project Coordinator works closely with a Project Consultant, FFE designers and estimators to support in all aspects to deliver construction/furniture projects on time, within budget, and with excellent customer satisfaction.

It requires a logical mindset and initiative as well as investigational/problem-solving qualities.

Knowledge of the building industry or at least a willingness to learn the life cycle/timescale of a project is a must.

This role is much more than administration, you will be required to go to visit building sites with the Project Manager, fully understand the requirements for each project, and be fully committed to getting projects over the line.

Full training will be provided, however, a willingness to learn and adapt is essential.

You will be supported by four other Project Coordinators who enjoy a great team spirit and assist each other when required.

Set out projects on our computer system.
Liaise with consultants, designers & estimators.
Manage the endtoend running of consultancy projects.

Attend weekly project meetings to take notes and update the task tracker.
Prepare project reports with the Project Consultant.
Prepare project information for handover to operations.
