Role and Objectives:
The Project Coordinator Modular & Materials plays a central coordination role in supporting modular construction projects by aligning material planning, procurement, and production readiness with project schedules. Working closely with Project Managers, the Procurement, Design, and Production teams, this role translates project scope, drawings, and Bills of Materials into clear, accurate, and forward‑looking material requirements that support timely purchasing and efficient production execution.
This position is responsible for coordinating material planning activities across multiple projects, ensuring material requirements are clearly defined, tracked, and aligned with changing project timelines and priorities. The Project Coordinator proactively identifies gaps, risks, and long‑lead items, supports submittal and purchasing workflows, and helps ensure material requirements are well organized and actionable for procurement and inventory teams. While this role may provide support related to on site material management, its primary focus is on planning, coordination, and cross‑functional alignment.
Operating at the intersection of project coordination, procurement, and production, the Project Coordinator Modular & Materials contributes to continuous improvement by supporting standardized BOM structures, improving material planning processes, and enhancing visibility through ERP and material tracking systems. This role plays a key part in improving production readiness, reducing material‑related delays, and supporting scalable, repeatable modular operations.
