Project Coordinator | Durham | Permanent
Are you highly organised, confident communicating with different people and experienced working within a busy project, operational or site-led environment? Office Angels are delighted to be partnering with a well-established national business to recruit a Project Coordinator to join their friendly and straightforward team in Durham.

You'll build strong working relationships, but you'll also need the confidence to follow up when something hasn't been done, question things when they don't look right and have honest, constructive conversations when needed.
