We’re looking for a Construction Coordinator to support our Construction Manager and site teams in the day-to-day delivery of our residential projects, including construction administration, turnover, customer care and warranty.

- Maintain current site drawings, instructions, inspection records and construction documentation.
- Track deficiencies and incomplete work, coordinate follow-up and confirm completion with the responsible site lead.
- Assemble construction turnover and closeout documents, including inspection records, manuals, warranties and customer handover packages, and provide them for the overall project closeout records.
- Support site purchasing and invoice administration by gathering documentation and confirming receipt or completion with the site team.
- Coordinate pre-occupancy inspections, possessions and handover appointments with the site team, homeowners and rental property managers.
- Manage customer communication from construction updates through possession and warranty milestones.
- Record and track service and warranty requests in Newstar, with clear next steps, responsible parties and completion dates.
- Schedule assessments and repairs with homeowners, rental managers, trades and the Service and Warranty Technician; confirm completion before closing requests.
- Coordinate rental service and warranty issues with third-party property managers, including access, resident communication and building handover.
- Administer Alberta New Home Warranty Program registrations, enrollments, documents and claims coordination.
- Monitor warranty budgets, review invoices within delegated approval limits, and report outstanding work, cost concerns and recurring defects.
- Track grading approvals, landscaping and architectural requirements, and coordinate deposit and holdback releases with Accounting.
- Manage Customer Insight surveys and follow-ups, and work with the delivery team to improve the customer experience.
- Complete site walkthroughs, follow safety requirements and escalate urgent concerns, disputed coverage and overdue commitments.
Qualifications and skills
- Three or more years of relevant experience in residential construction coordination, customer care or service and warranty.
- Practical knowledge of residential construction, handover and Alberta new-home warranty requirements, including the ability to read drawings and understand trade scopes.
- Experience with Newstar or similar software and proficiency in Microsoft Office.
