This position bridges the gap between the field and office, providing operational, administrative, and logistical support that keeps projects on schedule, within budget, and compliant with company standards.

• Coordinate permits, inspections, material orders, and subcontractor schedules to maintain project timelines.
• Assist in preparing, reviewing, and tracking RFIs, change orders, estimates, and progress reports.
• Manage internal documentation, ensuring all project files, bids, and records are accurate and up to date.
• Liaise between field crews, vendors, inspectors, and office teams to ensure clear communication and smooth workflow.
• Monitor project schedules and budgets, flagging potential delays or cost variances early for corrective action.
• Support the bidding and estimating process by collecting subcontractor quotes, verifying scopes, and organizing proposals.
• Maintain compliance with safety standards, permitting regulations, and company operational policies.
• Contribute to process improvement by identifying operational bottlenecks and proposing practical solutions.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in construction operations, coordination, or project administration.
• Strong understanding of residential construction processes, permitting, and project documentation.
• Proficient in project management or construction software (e.g., Procore, Buildertrend, or similar).
• Excellent organizational and multitasking skills with high attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, for coordinating across field and office teams.
• Ability to work independently while supporting multiple ongoing projects.

Qualifications

• Experience supporting residential design-build or custom/luxury construction projects.
• Knowledge of estimating or procurement processes.
• Familiarity with Los Angeles-area building codes, inspectors, and permit offices.
• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate effectively with project managers, superintendents, and vendors.
