This role requires someone with strong organizational skills who can balance technical understanding with people-focused project management. This role offers strong growth potential to build expertise in project management methods, stakeholder management, and technical construction knowledge.
What you’ll do
- Support workplace projects end to end, working closely with project managers from initiation to completion.
- Help define scope/objectives and align stakeholders.
- Drive clear communication across internal stakeholders and external consultants/vendors.
- Prepare project documentation, presentations for internal review, and leadership updates.
- Review drawings and technical documentation from a client-side perspective, flagging gaps and inconsistencies early and driving clarifications to closure.
- Recognize workplace needs and requirements, including acoustics, privacy, lighting, usability, and the overall employee experience.
- Run project meetings, define milestones, and maintain clear project status reporting.
- Support procurement workflows by helping define scope, comparing offers, and coordinating approvals.
- Travel to project locations as needed to support key decisions and milestones and strengthen collaboration with partners.
- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by refining templates, guidelines, and department initiatives.
What we’re looking for
- 2+ years of experience in project coordination / project management, ideally in construction, fit-out, or workplace projects.
- A degree in architecture, interior design, construction, or a related field.
- A solid understanding of fit-out delivery, including drawings and documentation, materials/finishes, and how projects move from design to site. MEP familiarity is a plus.
- Strong stakeholder skills and comfort working with multiple teams and priorities.
- A proactive mindset – taking ownership, solving problems, and knowing when to escalate.
- The ability to juggle multiple workstreams in a changing environment.
- A collaborative mindset and experience working in international, cross-functional teams.
- Strong computer skills, including Google Workspace, project tracking tools (Asana), Miro, presentations, and working with drawing sets/markups (PDF/CAD).
