Project Coordinator (Remote)

The Project Coordinator is responsible for coordinating new IT infrastructure projects from the point of sale through preparation for Project Manager handoff. This is a client-facing role where you will be the customer's primary point of contact after the sale, while coordinating with engineers, procurement, warehouse, shipping, and internal teams to keep projects moving. The role focuses primarily on IT infrastructure deployments, including servers, switches, wireless access points, and workstation deployments. This is not a software development role.

In simple terms: Set up the project, coordinate the people and resources, keep the customer informed, and resolve issues before they become project blockers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Pick up newly created projects from the regional project board and take action within the required SLA.
• Set up projects in ConnectWise Manage, including importing project scope through ScopeStack, reviewing quotes and service tickets, and breaking the project into phases, tasks, and estimated hours.
• Review the customer's signed scope and conduct the project kickoff communication.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers during the pre-project and coordination stage.
• Clarify and resolve scope discrepancies or customer questions regarding the services they purchased.
• Coordinate and assign engineers based on their availability, technical expertise, and project requirements.
• Coordinate with procurement to order required hardware and track orders through delivery.
• Monitor hardware ETAs and provide customers with realistic project start dates.
• Coordinate with shipping, warehouse, procurement, and technical teams to resolve delays and other project issues.
• Maintain and manage the project backlog and ensure projects remain on track for their planned start dates.
• Prepare projects for handoff to the Project Manager approximately four weeks before the scheduled start date.
• Coordinate small workstation deployment projects from planning through completion, including working directly with the customer to arrange workstation setup.
• Track project progress, issues, dependencies, and outstanding actions to ensure timely completion.
• Maintain clear and accurate project documentation, updates, and communication throughout the coordination process.

Project Volume

The coordinator is expected to set up approximately 10–12 new projects per week, or around 40 projects per month, for an assigned region.

The role requires the ability to manage multiple active projects, priorities, and stakeholders simultaneously while meeting established SLAs.
