Project Coordinator
What's it like to be a Project Coordinator?
Project Coordinators plan and administrate the organisation of projects, contracts and teams of people. They have strong organisational and communication skills, and often work to strict deadlines.
Project Coordinators work closely with team members and managers to facilitate the completion of activities by planning and scheduling resources and tasks, delivering internal and external communications, supporting Project Managers and implementing their recommendations, and collating and analysing data for the preparation of submissions and reports.
Project Coordinators often work for construction and engineering firms, however there is growing demand for the skill set in a broad range of industries, including information, communications and technology, environmental and Government agencies, event management and human resources.
