What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Coordinator - Playcraft position at Playcraft Systems LLC?
Playcraft Systems is seeking a Design Project Coordinator to support communication, project coordination, and technical design efforts within our Design Studio. This role serves as a key connection point between our nationwide distributors and our internal design team, helping ensure projects move efficiently from concept through final design output.
This position is ideal for someone with foundational AutoCAD experience who is interested in developing specialized expertise within Playcraft Systems’ unique design, compliance, and distributor support environment. The successful candidate will receive training in Playcraft processes, playground safety standards, and design coordination practices.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Project Intake and Distributor Coordination: Support communication with distributors to clarify project goals, timelines, site information, and customer needs. Assist with gathering project details and maintaining accurate project documentation throughout the design process.
- AutoCAD Site Plan Support: Use AutoCAD to place and organize pre-designed playground models into professional site plans and layout documents.
