Onsite Full Time Engineering Services

Are you the person who keeps projects moving, knows where the numbers stand, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks?


We're looking for a detail-oriented, proactive Project Controls Coordinator who enjoys bringing organization, accountability, and visibility to complex projects. This is an opportunity to work across multiple departments, collaborate with key stakeholders, and play an important role in keeping projects on schedule and within budget.


What makes this opportunity interesting?

You'll have a hands-on role in project execution, working alongside Project Management, Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Accounting. Your ability to track costs, monitor schedules, identify potential roadblocks, and keep people accountable will make a real difference in project success.


What we're looking for:

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in project coordination, project controls, project accounting, manufacturing, construction, or a related environment.
  • Proven experience with project cost tracking, budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Experience tracking project schedules, milestones, deliverables, and action items.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities, proactively solve problems, and keep projects moving forward.


Experience with ERP/MRP systems, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or Power BI is a plus.


Who would thrive in this role?

Someone who is naturally organized, financially savvy, enjoys working with different teams, and takes ownership of making sure things get done. You don't just track project progress; you anticipate what needs attention and help drive solutions.


Interested in learning more?

Even if you're not actively looking, this could be worth a conversation. If you're ready for an opportunity where your project coordination and financial skills can have a meaningful impact, we'd love to connect.
