Overview

Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced Project Coordinator to join our Real Estate & Facilities team as a right-hand partner to the Facilities Manager. This role is an even blend of executive administrative support and hands-on project coordination—roughly 50% of each. You will work closely alongside the Facilities Manager, learning our processes through direct shadowing before taking on increasing independence.

The ideal candidate has prior experience as a coordinator or assistant within commercial real estate, facilities, or property management and is ready to hit the ground running. You will help keep projects organized and moving, manage correspondence and scheduling on behalf of the Facilities Manager, and serve as the key point of contact between the Facilities Manager and internal departments when he is traveling or offsite.

Key Responsibilities

Administrative & Executive Support 

• Manage the Facilities Manager’s calendar, schedule appointments, and coordinate meetings with internal teams and external partners.
• Handle day-to-day correspondence including emails, follow-ups, and communications on behalf of the Facilities Manager.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal teams (IT, Facilities staff, Safety) when the Facilities Manager is traveling or offsite.
• Organize and maintain project files, documentation, and records to ensure information is always current and accessible.
• Assist with travel coordination and other logistical support as needed.

New Office Setup & Project Coordination 

• Coordinate all logistics associated with opening new offices and closing or relocating existing locations, including utilities, signage, furniture/FF&E research, and vendor scheduling.
• Shadow the Facilities Manager closely during the onboarding period to learn processes, vendor relationships, and company standards before taking on tasks independently.
• Track project timelines, milestones, and budgets; flag issues to the Facilities Manager promptly.
• Communicate with contractors and coordinate services for office remodels, buildouts, and expansions; the Facilities Manager will retain contract signing authority.
• Assist with scheduling construction and renovation activities in coordination with the Facilities Manager.
• Act as a liaison between the Facilities Manager and the broader Facilities department for existing properties, ensuring tasks are completed and documented.
• Attend and take notes on lease-related conversations and negotiations so you remain current on timelines and property statuses—coordinating with landlords and brokers as directed.

 

Qualifications

Required

• Prior experience as a coordinator or assistant in commercial real estate, facilities management, or property management.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and projects simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interfacing with landlords, brokers, contractors, and internal leadership.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, and general productivity tools.
• Ability to work independently and keep things moving when the Facilities Manager is traveling or unavailable.
• Comfortable being occasionally available outside normal business hours for urgent needs (a quick call or text reply on evenings or weekends).
• Open to occasional travel if the need arises.

Preferred

• Experience supporting a real estate asset manager, facilities manager, or similar senior role.
• Familiarity with FF&E procurement, tenant improvement projects, office buildouts, or lease administration.
• CAD experience is a bonus and would be valued, though coordination and support skills are the priority.
