Who we areSonata Design and our sister company Empower Projects builds hurricane-resistant homes across three markets. We design in Calgary, manufacture in Canada, and build in the Bahamas, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Canada. Vertically integrated means we control design, engineering, estimating, procurement, shipping, and construction under one roof, and the projects on our board right now include a gated subdivision, a canal-front villa program, and an island estate development where we are the preferred builder.Small team, real projects, no layers.The job in one sentenceYou are the connective tissue between design, estimating, two island job sites, ownership, and every supplier, engineer, and client in between.Why the role existsOur bottleneck is not talent. It is the handoff. Drawings reach estimating incomplete. A supplier gives a lead time on a phone call and it never lands in the tracker. A site supervisor needs an inspection date that is sitting in someone's inbox. Decisions get made and nobody writes them down.We need one person who owns the space between people. Someone who closes the loop before it opens into a problem.What you will ownCoordination and cadenceRun the weekly cycle: agendas out before, minutes out after, every action item carrying a named owner and a dateChase open items to closure, politely and relentlessly, including chasing the owners of this companyKeep the project board current so it is the single source of truth, not one of four competing listsDesign to estimating handoffMake sure drawing packages are complete before they reach estimating,
and that revisions are logged with a version and a dateMaintain the RFI log, the client selections tracker, and the specification schedulesFlag scope changes the moment they appear, before they land in someone's costProcurement, logistics, and siteMaintain the purchase order log, supplier lead times, and delivery dates, and update them weeklyCoordinate container consolidation and shipping documents with our logistics coordinatorCollect weekly site reports and progress photos from our Bahamas and SVG supervisors, and turn them into something ownership can read in two minutesTrack permits, inspections, and engineering sign-offs across two jurisdictionsExecutive supportCalendar, travel, and inbox triage for the President and the technology and strategy leadTurn voice memos, WhatsApp threads, and half-finished emails into clean, actionable documentsPrepare client and supplier correspondence for review, on brand and error-freeWork with our finance lead on invoices matched to purchase orders, draw schedule milestones, and expense captureWhat success looks like at 90 daysNothing is waiting on you and nobody has to ask you twice.
Ownership stops carrying the follow-up in their heads, because you already have it.What we are looking forThree or more years coordinating projects in construction, manufacturing, engineering, or professional servicesEvidence you have been the person holding five parties to a schedule, not the person taking notes while others didWriting robust enough that your emails go to clients without being rewrittenFluent in Excel or Google Sheets, and comfortable in at least one project tool such as Jira, Asana, Monday, Procore, or BuildertrendWilling to work across Mountain, Eastern, and Atlantic time zonesOrganized by instinct. If your own systems are a mess, this will not workNice to haveYou can read a set of construction drawings and know what is missing from themCaribbean or international shipping, customs, or freight forwarding exposureQuickBooks Online, bookkeeping, or accounts payable experienceExperience in a small company where the job description was a starting pointWhat this job is notYou will not design homes or price them. Design and estimating are held by specialists and you support bothYou have no pricing authority. Numbers reach clients only after our estimating lead signs offThis is not a passive administrative seat.
