About the Role:
The Project Coordinator exists to keep project information organised, accessible, and up to date so that the rest of the team can focus on delivery. This role sits within a fast-paced engineering environment and plays a vital part in keeping our PMO running smoothly.
This role suits someone at the start of their career looking to build a foundation in project management, or a retiree looking for a focused, meaningful role without the weight of senior responsibility.
A typical day could look like this:
- Project Housekeeping: Maintaining folder structures and documentation for 50+ active projects to ensure everything is accessible and audit ready.
- Data Reporting: Using Excel (pivot tables) to track KPIs and provide performance metrics for the PMO.
- Stakeholder Support: Assisting Project Leads by extracting data for high-level presentations and tracking smaller work packages using established templates.
- Deadline Coordination: Monitoring project timelines and proactively prompting team members to ensure milestones are met.
- Process Setup: Establishing the administrative foundations for new projects from initiation through to closure.
- Team Liaison: Acting as a central point of contact within a fast-paced engineering environment to keep information and documentation flowing.
