Project Coordinator

The job
You'll own a project from start to finish: the plan, the schedule, the details and the follow-through. On this project, "close enough" isn't good enough. One missed number or skipped step costs real time and money, so we need someone who checks their work, then checks it again, and keeps everyone else on track without being asked.
What you'll own

Planning: Build the project plan, timeline and budget, and break the work into clear steps with owners and deadlines
Organizing: Keep every document, drawing, spec, order and approval current, in one place, and easy to find
Checking: Verify the details, numbers, specs, quantities, dates, before anything moves forward, and catch errors before they become problems
Coordinating: Keep the multiple teams involved working from the same plan and on the same page
Tracking: Report where things stand every week - on time, on budget, or not and why
Solving: Spot risks early, bring options to the table, and keep the project moving
Improving: Build the checklists and processes that make the next project easier, since you're the first person in this role

What success looks like in your first year

The project hits its key milestones on time and on budget
Errors are caught before they reach the floor, the supplier or the customer
Anyone can find the current status of anything in under a minute
The people you work with trust your plan and your numbers
You've built a project playbook we can use for every project after this one

Where this role can take you

You'll build this role from the ground up and shape how Southland runs projects
You'll work closely with our leadership team and see how the whole business fits together
As we grow, so can this role

You're probably a fit if you

Are the person who notices the typo, the wrong number or the missing step that everyone else missed
Are organized to the point that people come to you to find things
Have drive, and finish what you start without being chased
Can keep several moving pieces on track at once without dropping any of them
Follow up the second, third and fourth time if that's what it takes
Speak up when something's off, even if it's not what people want to hear
Are strong with Excel or project tools, and can learn new systems quickly

Project coordination or project management experience is a big plus, especially in manufacturing or construction. But we care more about what you've done than your job title. If you've run something complicated and got every detail right, tell us about it.
