Construction Project Coordinator
About the job
Job Title: Construction Project Coordinator (Structural Steel )
Location: Cork/Kerry Border (approx. 20 minutes from Killarney)
Salary: €45,000 - €60,000 (DOE) + Pension + Bonus
Experience: 1-3 years minimum in the construction industry
About the Role
We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Construction Coordinator to join a large scale Structural Steel contractor at brand-new office facilities on the Cork/Kerry border. This role offers a unique opportunity to take on the challenges of project management within a fully office-based environment.
On major structural steel projects, core steel pricing is typically pre-established. The real value of this position lies in effectively managing the flow of materials into production-similar to how a project manager coordinates subcontractors and deliveries on a live construction site.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and coordinate steel call-offs in line with fabrication schedules
- Ensure each batch/package of material is available as required for production
- Review drawings and upcoming project requirements to identify shortages or risks early
- Liaise with suppliers, mills, transport providers, and internal departments
- Ensure all certification, CE marking, traceability, and documentation are in place
- Monitor incoming materials and proactively resolve any delays
- Maintain a steady flow of materials to support smooth workshop operations
- Collaborate closely with detailing, contracts, production, and stores teams
About You
- Experience in project coordination, supply chain, or construction-related roles
- Strong planning, organisational, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent communication skills with both internal teams and external suppliers
- Experience working with structural steel or construction projects is an advantage
Why Apply?
- Competitive salary of €45,000 - €60,000 depending on experience
- Company pension scheme
- Performance-related bonus
- Office-based role with no regular site travel
- Opportunity to apply project management skills in a stable, structured environment
- Work from a modern, purpose-built office close to Killarney
The Opportunity
This role is ideal for candidates with project management or construction experience who are looking to step away from site-based work, while still engaging in the coordination, planning, and delivery aspects of major projects.
