What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Coordinator position at Industrial Pipe & Valve, Inc.?
About us
Industrial Pipe and Valve is a pipe, valve and fittings (PVF) distributor headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, with branches in Longview, WA, Nampa, ID, Phoenix, AZ and Mesa, AZ. We supply valves, valve automation, instrumentation, pipe, fittings and flanges, strut, hangers, bolts and bolt kits, and gaskets to mechanical contractors and industrial customers, including Intel-grade bolt kits for semiconductor work. In-house we cut pipe, strut and all-thread to length, thread and roll-groove pipe, and powder-coat strut and fittings, with same-day or next-day delivery on stock items. Our motto is simple: customer satisfaction matters, because it's all about the service.
We're growing our Projects team to support larger jobs from bid to closeout.
The role
The Project Coordinator keeps our project jobs organized behind the scenes. You'll support the Project Manager by entering and tracking orders, building submittal packages, following up with vendors and making sure every delivery goes out complete and on time.

• Keep job logs, release schedules and order status reports up to date.
• Schedule deliveries and will-calls with the warehouse and customers, and check paperwork against what ships.
