Engineering Project Coordinator

Bring your experience. Find your people. Build what matters.

At Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC), we believe great work happens when talented people have the trust, resources, and support to do their best work.

As an Engineering Project Coordinator, you'll bring your experience to meaningful projects that shape the communities we serve. You'll have the opportunity to manage project workflows and financial tracking from pre-project planning through project closeout, collaborate with talented professionals across disciplines, and build strong relationships with clients, consultants, and contractors.

Most importantly, you won't be expected to do it alone. You'll be surrounded by a multidisciplinary team that values collaboration, shares knowledge, and is invested in your success.

You'll:

• Manage end-to-end project setup, budget tracking, and financial reconciliation in firm software systems.
• Coordinate pre-project planning by drafting project scopes, task orders, baseline schedules, and fee projections.
• Lead competitive bidding processes, including bid advertisements, contract specification preparation, bid tabulations, and contract award recommendations.
• Serve as the central communication point during construction administration between managers, contractors, subconsultants, and regulatory agencies.
• Maintain and track pay applications, change notices, change orders, and subconsultant invoices.
• Execute complete project closeout activities, including punch lists, as-built documentation, regulatory approvals, and financial reconciliations.
• Support QA/QC processes through structured schedule oversight and accurate project record management.
• Assist business development initiatives by tracking client pipelines in CRM systems and supporting grant funding application compliance.
• Provide high-level administrative and schedule coordination support to engineering leadership.
• Facilitate proactive cross-team communication, anticipating project needs and resolving scheduling conflicts.
