A versatile job role within an organisation, the Project Coordinator can be responsible for several tasks within a single project. The roles can vary and are often dependent on the organisation and the structure of the team force, ranging from simple administration duties, such as project documentation, planning and reports to engineering tasks such as configuration management and materials.
A Project Coordinator can also be accountable for some of the Project Manager roles which include, and not limited to, risk and opportunity assessments, schedules and financial reports when this is assigned to them by the Project Manager.
The main difference between Project Coordinator jobs and the Project Manager is that the latter is ultimately accountable for the successful delivery. The Project Coordinator works closely with the Project Manager to ensure a cohesive and smooth-running project, and whilst the Project Manager is ultimately the leader of the teams, the Project Coordinator will oversee the team and process to ensure goals are being met, especially in the manager’s absence.
They will also work closely with all teams within the project to ensure the Project Manager is supplied with all the notes and feedback they need to eliminate any risks within the project. Project Coordinator jobs demand that the person in the role can adapt to the diverse nature of the tasks they may have to undertake. They must have great interpersonal and communication skills, outstanding organisational skills, in addition to being to work well under pressure. Successful candidates usually have substantial experience in this role or similar role.
