, Canada MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company Full-time

Position Summary

The Coordinator, Corporate Administration ensures the smooth, consistent delivery of the administrative, facilities and workplace services that support day‑to‑day operations at MSC Canada. This position is one of two Coordinators who together form the Administration & Facilities team for the Toronto/Mississauga office. Both positions carry the same title, grade and level of accountability; what differs is the stream each one owns.

This position is the primary point person for facilities, real estate and installations. The focus is on maintaining the workplace, supporting the employee experience, and ensuring the facility continues to operate effectively — from building and landlord relationships and vendor management through space planning, office installations, fit‑outs and internal moves.

Both positions report to the Director, Facilities & Administration, who is based in Montreal and provides coverage across both the Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto/Mississauga offices. The role combines planning with hands‑on execution: anticipating what the office will need, coordinating external providers and contractors, tracking spends and service levels, preparing clear reports to support decision‑making, and stepping in on events and executive requests when required.

Level of Responsibility

Handles tasks with increased independence; responsible for the quality and timeliness of personal work. Acts as the recognized owner of a defined stream, contributing to projects with guidance and supporting team and organizational objectives. Exercises judgment on day‑to‑day facilities matters, escalating cost, risk, safety and contractual decisions to the Director.
