Reconstruction Project Coordinator - Construction Operations

Help Keep Reconstruction Projects Organized, Accountable, and Moving Forward.

SERVPRO of Bear, New Castle, and Upper Darby is seeking an experienced, highly organized Reconstruction Project Coordinator to join our Reconstruction Department.

This is much more than a traditional administrative position.

You'll work closely with our Reconstruction Project Managers, customers, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, and office team to help manage projects from authorization through completion and final billing.

From coordinating schedules and ordering materials to sourcing subcontractors, maintaining job files, tracking budgets, supporting estimating and billing, and keeping outstanding action items moving—you'll play an important role in keeping our reconstruction projects organized, efficient, and on schedule.

Previous construction, restoration, property management, contracting, or service-industry experience is highly preferred, and compensation will be based in part on relevant experience, knowledge, and capabilities.

Position Summary

The Reconstruction Project Coordinator owns much of the administrative and operational coordination behind our reconstruction projects.

Working in partnership with our Project Managers and field teams, this person is responsible for helping ensure schedules, materials, subcontractors, documentation, budgets, billing requirements, customer communication, and outstanding action items are actively managed and moving forward.

This is not a passive administrative role.

We're looking for someone who identifies what needs to happen next, follows up without being reminded, solves problems, and helps hold projects and the people involved accountable to commitments and deadlines.

The goal is straightforward:

Keep projects organized. Keep schedules moving. Keep information accurate. Keep customers informed. And help our Project Managers successfully move jobs from authorization through completion and payment.

This position requires someone who can see the bigger picture while still managing the details.

Maintain accurate and current project information within company systems.

Help maintain accountability systems so outstanding tasks do not get lost or forgotten.
Follow through with responsible parties until required action items are completed.

Request and compare pricing, availability, and lead times.

Assist with invoice preparation and billing documentation.
Coordinate with Accounting and Accounts Receivable when project or billing information is needed.
Help ensure completed work is accurately documented so the company can properly bill for the work performed.
Assist with maintaining accurate financial information throughout the project rather than waiting until project completion.

Customer & Team Communication

Provide professional telephone and administrative support.
Communicate with customers regarding schedules, selections, project information, and other administrative needs.
Assist Project Managers with customer follow-up and ongoing communication.
Communicate with vendors, subcontractors, suppliers, insurance representatives, and other project stakeholders.
Help ensure important communication is documented and reaches the appropriate team member.
Proactively follow up when information or decisions are needed to keep projects moving.
Assist the office and other departments when needed to support our customers and team.

This is a full-time, in-office position.

Our office operates within a 7:00 AM–6:00 PM scheduling window, with individual schedules established based on the position and needs of the department.
