Position Overview 

The Project Operations Coordinator supports the execution of customer projects and onsite work by coordinating vendors, internal teams, and operational activities to ensure work is scheduled, completed, and invoiced accurately and on time. 

Working closely with Sales, Sales Operations, subcontractors, and internal teams, this position helps coordinate commissioning activities, preventive maintenance visits, extended warranty work, and other onsite project requirements. Responsibilities include tracking project milestones in Salesforce, aligning subcontractor activities with project timelines, and ensuring project progress is communicated so order processing, fulfillment, and invoicing occur at the appropriate milestones. 

Limited travel (approximately 10–20%) may be required to visit customer sites, observe project progress, and assist with vendor coordination during commissioning or other onsite activities.
