Project Control Officer - Intermediate

The Intermediate Project Coordinator will provide administrative and project governance support across corporate real estate projects. The initial focus will be supporting the closeout of a long-term program involving two buildings and a final employee move. The candidate may subsequently transition to supporting two projects preparing for construction, move management and eventual closeout.

This is a hands-on Project Coordinator/PCO position rather than a Project Manager role. The successful candidate must understand project management practices while remaining comfortable owning the detailed coordination, documentation and administrative work required to keep projects organized. The team requires someone who can begin contributing quickly, independently locate information and engage stakeholders without requiring significant day-to-day direction
