Project Coordinator

Interested in building a career in Project Management?

?

Are you someone who enjoys planning, coordinating, problem-solving and keeping projects on track? Do you like working with different teams, managing priorities, and seeing a project move from planning through to completion?

This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in

project management and project execution , rather than a traditional design engineering career. You don't need to be the person designing the equipment—you'll be the person helping bring all the pieces together and making sure the project keeps moving forward.
