Role Description

The Project Work Coordinator is a full-time role responsible for supporting the planning, coordination, and delivery of housing and property-related projects across IDS’s portfolio. Based in Greater London, this hybrid position combines office-based work with some flexibility to work from home, depending on business needs. Day-to-day tasks include tracking project timelines and milestones, updating project documentation, and liaising with internal teams, contractors, and external partners to ensure works are delivered on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards. The role involves monitoring progress against plans, preparing status reports, maintaining accurate records, and helping to resolve operational issues by escalating risks and coordinating actions. The Project Work Coordinator also contributes to continuous improvement by suggesting more efficient processes, supporting compliance with relevant regulations and policies, and ensuring that residents receive clear and timely communication about planned works.
