Construction Project Lead Jobs in Phoenix, AZ

About the Position

Harcon Concrete Inc. is a rapidly growing Arizona-based concrete construction company seeking a Project Coordinator to join our team and support the successful execution of our construction projects.

The Project Coordinator will work closely with Project Managers, field supervisors, customers, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and our accounting team to keep projects organized, properly documented, and moving forward.

This is an ideal position for someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities at once. The successful candidate will not simply complete assigned administrative tasks—they will actively monitor projects, follow up on outstanding items, identify potential issues, and help ensure that commitments and deadlines are met.

Construction experience is strongly preferred, but candidates with strong project coordination, administrative, scheduling, or operations experience may also be considered.

• Respond to project-related inquiries in a timely manner.
• Coordinate meetings, site visits, inspections, and deliveries.
• Request and track required documentation from subcontractors and vendors.
• Assist with resolving routine coordination issues and escalate significant issues to the Project Manager.

Project Documentation & Change Orders

• Assist with documenting additional work, customer-requested changes, and changes to project scope.
• Maintain change-order logs and track pending approvals.
• Collect supporting documentation including photographs, field notes, material costs, and labor information.
• Assist with RFIs, submittals, takeoffs, schedule of values, project correspondence, and other construction documentation.
• Ensure project records remain accurate and up to date.

Purchasing & Materials

• Order and track materials, equipment, and service purchases.
• Coordinate material orders and delivery schedules.
• Verify quantities, pricing, project information, and delivery requirements.
• Follow up with suppliers regarding availability, delivery dates, and outstanding orders.
• Communicate material or delivery issues to the appropriate Project Manager.

Project Closeout

• Assist Project Managers with project closeout.
• Track punch-list items and final project requirements.
• Collect final documentation, lien waivers, and other required paperwork.
• Ensure project files are complete and properly organized.
