We are seeking an experienced Project Coordinator to support a portfolio of facility and equipment upgrade projects at a manufacturing facility in Lincoln, Alabama. This role serves as a critical link between internal teams, external contractors, and end-customer stakeholders across three active workstreams: building construction coordination, paint shop maintenance and equipment upgrade project support, and conveyor system planning assistance.

The successful candidate will thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, bringing strong organizational instincts, clear communication, and the ability to keep multiple moving pieces aligned from planning through execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate day-to-day activities across building construction, paint shop maintenance, and conveyor planning projects, ensuring alignment between schedules, scope, and site operations.
• Maintain and actively manage open issues logs, driving items to resolution and escalating roadblocks as needed.
• Support customer coordination meetings by preparing agendas, capturing action items, and following up with both internal teams and external stakeholders (contractors, vendors, engineering partners).
• Monitor on-site contractor progress against baseline schedules, identifying variances early and communicating impacts to project leadership.
• Review and track change order requests, supporting evaluation of scope, cost, and schedule implications before approval.
• Serve as an on-the-ground point of contact for contractor questions, access coordination, and day-to-day site logistics.
• Document meeting outcomes, decisions, and project status in a clear and accessible format for all stakeholders.

This is how you will take us forward: 

• 5–10 years of relevant experience in project coordination, construction management, facilities projects, or manufacturing capital projects. Automotive, heavy industrial, or OEM-adjacent experience is a plus but not required.
• Working familiarity with at least one of the following: building construction workflows, paint shop or finishing system maintenance, or conveyor systems and material handling.
• Strong ability to track multiple concurrent workstreams and keep stakeholders informed without being prompted.
• Comfortable running and participating in coordination meetings with a mix of internal teams, contractors, and customer representatives.
• Solid written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate technical progress updates into clear status for non-technical audiences.
• Proficiency with standard project tracking tools (Excel, MS Project, Smartsheet, or similar) and meeting documentation practices.
• Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field is preferred; equivalent experience will be fully considered in lieu of a degree.
