Project Coordinator

PERIKIN Enterprises is seeking a technically-minded Project Coordinator to perform on-site construction oversight, quality assurance, and guidance for a variety of construction projects in Tullahoma, TN. Unlike a traditional project coordinator, this role is field-heavy. You will monitor various construction jobs to ensure contractors are installing systems according to design drawings, manage site de-confliction between multiple trades, and provide critical daily reporting to leadership to ensure mission readiness.  This position is in support of PERIKIN’s contracts to provide engineering services; program, project, financial, and information management; and administrative support to our Government Customers.

• Site De-confliction: Coordinate and de-conflict work areas where multiple contractors or trades are operating simultaneously. Ensure safety and logistical harmony in shared footprints.
• Field Documentation: Capture high-quality photographs of daily progress, specifically focusing on "covered work" (installations that will be hidden by walls or earth) to ensure long-term accountability.
• Daily Field Reporting: Prepare detailed daily and weekly reports documenting manpower, equipment on-site, work completed, and any deviations from the project schedule or safety plan.
• Submittal & SOW Support: Assist in developing Performance Work Statements (PWS) and Independent Cost Estimates based on observed field conditions.
• Risk & Change Management: Identify potential field risks (e.g., utility interference or site conditions) and maintain the change management register to document impacts on cost and schedule.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact between project managers, and third-party contractors to facilitate efficient execution.

• Minimum 1–3 years of experience in Construction Management, Quality Assurance, or Field Engineering. 
• High School Diploma required; Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field is highly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to manage work zones containing multiple trades and maintain a safe, organized job site.
• Working knowledge of OSHA 30 and USACE EM 385-1-1 safety manuals.
