Interior Plumbing & Heating Ltd. (IPH) is a proud, community-driven mechanical contractor with 76 years of experience building projects across Western Canada—from Vancouver Island to Calgary, Alberta, and beyond. We’re building strong teams in the communities where we work and focusing on delivering repeat projects in these areas to support our crews and clients across Western Canada.
We’re a unique mechanical contractor, performing plumbing, sheet metal, refrigeration, pipefitting, and fire protection—all in-house. Along with our in-house prefabrication and design capabilities, this allows us to deliver efficient, high-quality projects while giving our team exposure to the full construction process—from concept to installation.
Our work spans the commercial, multi-family, healthcare, and industrial sectors, offering a diverse range of experience and a fast track for anyone looking to build a strong, well-rounded professional career.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Project Coordinator to join our team. In this role, you will be instrumental in coordinating and supporting the successful delivery of mechanical projects—from initiation to completion—including design-build projects.
You’ll work closely with site superintendents and project managers, contributing to the successful execution of healthcare and industrial design-build projects. The role includes collaborating with both internal and external design teams to ensure efficient project coordination and execution.
At IPH, we continuously adopt new software and technologies to stay at the forefront of the industry. This role plays a key part in that effort—supporting the implementation of leading-edge platforms and digital tools while helping our teams work smarter and more efficiently. We also rely on the input of this role to build and improve our systems and operations, making this a meaningful opportunity to shape how our projects are delivered.
This position is based out of our Kamloops office, with opportunities to work onsite as projects require. It offers significant growth potential, with ongoing opportunities for professional development and advancement.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in design development and budgeting throughout the life cycle of design-build projects, contributing during both design and implementation phases.
- Support project planning, scheduling, and coordination of all mechanical work from start to finish.
