Original job description
Where design meets opportunity, and careers are built to last
Averton is an experienced, award-winning homebuilder, community developer and construction management company.
We’re looking for a Project Coordinator to support project delivery from design and preconstruction through construction and closeout.
Working under the Senior Project Manager’s direction, you’ll coordinate project information, track deliverables and commitments, and take ownership of defined assignments. You’ll work with consultants and internal teams to resolve outstanding items, identify constraints early and bring forward practical recommendations to keep projects moving.
Key responsibilities
- Schedule meetings, prepare agendas with direction, take clear notes and circulate agreed actions.
- Maintain project folders, contact lists, drawing registers and document distribution using established procedures.
- Maintain project action and milestone trackers, follow up on commitments, identify constraints and recommend next steps.
- Coordinate assigned permit and consultant deliverables, including final submissions, project records and outstanding approval requirements for closeout; track requirements and follow up on missing information under the Senior Project Manager’s direction. Coordinate construction closeout inputs with the Construction Coordinator.
- Log RFIs, submittals and other correspondence, distribute them as directed, and keep their status current.
- Support procurement and subcontract administration by maintaining tender and award trackers, coordinating current documents and clarifications, and tracking quotations, approvals and major delivery milestones. Prepare documentation using scope and pricing reviewed by Estimating; routine site delivery bookings and access are coordinated by the Construction Coordinator.
- Support schedule and budget monitoring: update progress and cost information, flag variances and help prepare recovery options under the Senior Project Manager’s direction.
- Maintain change logs, assemble supporting information and identify potential scope, cost and schedule impacts for management review.
- Take responsibility for defined coordination assignments or work packages, bringing together design, estimating and construction inputs and driving agreed actions to completion.
- Lead assigned coordination meetings and prepare concise updates identifying progress, risks, proposed solutions and decisions required.
- Arrange project meetings, consultant site visits and other project logistics, and complete defined coordination assignments for design, estimating and construction as prioritized by the Senior Project Manager.
- Manage assigned priorities with the Senior Project Manager, confirming deliverables, deadlines and required inputs. Coordinate requests from consultants and internal departments, and bring competing demands forward for direction before commitments are affected.
Qualifications and skills
- 3–5 years of relevant experience in construction project coordination, project administration or a comparable delivery role, with demonstrated responsibility for follow-through and resolving issues.
- A diploma or degree in construction management, architectural technology, engineering technology or a related field is an asset; equivalent relevant experience is welcome.
- Strong attention to detail, reliable follow-through and clear written communication.
- Comfort with Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word and Excel, and shared electronic files.
- Working understanding of residential development and construction, including the ability to read drawings, understand trade scopes and recognize the impact of missing information on cost and schedule.
- Able to work in person, coordinate across several teams and manage assigned priorities with the Senior Project Manager.
