- Prepare, issue and follow up on RFIs and other project documentation.
- Maintain project records, correspondence, logs and meeting information.
- Assist with project schedules and monitor important dates and deliverables.
- Track extras, revisions and change orders throughout the project.
- Assist with pricing and documentation associated with changes in project scope.
- Support progress billing, cost tracking and general project financial administration.
- Communicate regularly with site personnel to ensure required information and materials are available.
- Coordinate with general contractors, consultants, suppliers and other project participants.
- Assist with deficiencies, commissioning, closeout documentation and O&M information.
- Provide general administrative and coordination support across multiple projects as required.
Experience & Qualifications
- Approximately 1–3 years of construction, electrical or project coordination experience preferred.
- Previous electrical construction experience is an asset.
- Electrical apprenticeship or hands-on field experience will be considered.

- Experience with Accubid or similar electrical estimating software is an asset.
- Comfortable working with Microsoft Office and standard construction/project documentation.
- Able to organize and track multiple projects, priorities and deadlines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Additional Details
This is an office-based project coordination position rather than a site-based construction role.
The successful candidate will work closely with Project Managers and field personnel on electrical construction projects, with significant exposure to high-rise residential work.
Benefits are available following the initial three-month period.
