Project Coordinator

Mechanical Manufacturing & Field Operations

Location: Durham Region

Job Type: Full-Time | On-Site

Compensation: $65,000–$75,000, depending on experience

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a well-established Durham Region mechanical manufacturing and field services company with more than 30 years of success delivering custom-engineered solutions across Ontario.

As Project Coordinator, you'll be at the centre of the operation, ensuring projects move efficiently from estimating through fabrication and installation to successful completion.

You'll work closely with

- Ownership and leadership
- Office staff
- Manufacturing teams
- Field crews
- Customers
- Suppliers

Your role will be to keep projects organized, schedules on track, and communication flowing.

This is not an administrative support role. It's a fast-paced operational coordination position where initiative, organization, and solid communication are critical to success.

What's In It For You

- $65,000–$75,000, depending on experience
- Full-time, permanent position
- Stable weekday schedule
- Group benefits
- Vacation and paid holidays
- High-visibility role working directly with ownership
- Long-term career opportunity with a well-established and growing organization

Why This Role Matters

You'll help keep multiple active projects moving successfully through every stage of execution:

Estimating Planning Fabrication Installation Completion

You'll work directly with

- Ownership and leadership
- Office administration
- Shop foreman and manufacturing teams
- Field installation crews
- Customers
- Suppliers

You'll serve as the operational hub that keeps projects moving, information flowing,



and priorities aligned across the organization.

The Ideal Candidate

You're highly organized—but more importantly, you're proactive.

You don't wait to be told what to do. You:

- Ask questions
- Pick up the phone
- Follow up consistently
- Take ownership
- Keep projects moving

You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities change, multiple projects are active simultaneously, and communication is constant.

You're comfortable communicating with tradespeople, customers, suppliers, and leadership, and you understand that many problems are solved through a timely conversation rather than another email.

Excel Expertise

Excel is one of your strongest tools. You're highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and comfortable:

- Maintaining detailed project schedules
- Tracking project information
- Managing priorities
- Keeping project data accurate
- Ensuring nothing falls through the cracks

Above all, you're dependable, assertive, resourceful, and enjoy bringing structure to busy operations.

Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate multiple active projects from estimating through completion.
- Act as the primary communication hub between ownership, office staff, manufacturing, field crews, customers, and suppliers.
- Maintain and continuously update the company's master Excel project tracker,



ensuring schedules, project status, and priorities remain accurate.
- Coordinate labour schedules, road crews, shop priorities, and project timelines.
- Proactively identify scheduling conflicts, delays, and operational issues before they become problems.
- Support estimating, project setup, and pre-production planning.
- Ensure manufacturing and field teams have the drawings, documentation, and information required to execute successfully.
- Follow up with customers, suppliers, and internal departments to keep projects moving.
- Communicate schedule changes and project updates across the organization.
- Maintain project documentation and support project closeout activities.
