About the Role
Not all Project Coordinator roles are created equal—and we are looking for someone with a very specific skillset. We are seeking a highly organized Site Development Project Coordinator who understands the unique landscape of civil engineering, land development, and commercial construction. In this role, you will be the organizational backbone of our Project Management team, ensuring the seamless execution of developer-driven site development projects across retail, industrial, restaurants, multifamily, and golf course sectors.
If you know how to navigate municipal permitting, love diving into due diligence research for potential development sites, and can expertly juggle subconsultant coordination, you are exactly who we are looking for. You will bring order and precision to internal workflows, track critical tasks from project setup through closeout, and ensure our engineers have the support they need to deliver craftsmanship.
A Quick Note Before You Apply: To be successful in this role, you must have prior experience in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) or land development industry. We love general project managers, but for this specific seat, we need someone who understands site development lifecycles, due diligence, and permitting!
What You'll Do (The Day-to-Day)
· Due Diligence & Research: Act as a research analyst by gathering critical project data, zoning codes, and jurisdictional requirements to help developers and Project Managers assess site viability and scope projects accurately.
· Master the Permitting Process: Navigate the complexities of local jurisdictions. Monitor permitting and submission schedules, coordinate document deliveries/retrievals, and keep projects moving through the approval gauntlet.
· Subconsultant Coordination: Manage the moving parts by coordinating with external partners (surveyors, geotechnical engineers, environmental consultants, traffic experts). Ensure subconsultant agreements are completed, named, and stored properly.
· Project Tracking & Scheduling: Own the project logistics. Use Smartsheet and other tracking tools to monitor deadlines, milestones, and project progress. Assist with scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, and compiling follow-up action items.
· Document Management: Create initial project folders, maintain proposal content archives, and ensure all contract documents and internal forms are organized. Assist in organizing final deliverables and project closeout documentation.
· Cross-Functional Support: Review and provide guidance on client invoices, track proposal statuses, and assist in compiling documentation for case studies or marketing use.
What You Bring to the Table
Your Experience & Technical Toolbox:
· 2–4 years of project coordination experience specifically within Civil Engineering, Architecture, Land Development, or Commercial Construction (Required).
· Proven experience assisting with site due diligence, permitting processes, and subconsultant coordination.
· Strong working knowledge of digital collaboration platforms (Smartsheet and Google Workspace are heavily utilized here).
· Exceptional file organization, version control habits, and task-level proficiency in document management tools.
Your Mindset:
· You are a master of organization and genuinely detail-oriented—nothing slips through the cracks on your watch.
· You are a clear, prompt communicator with a team-oriented support mindset.
· You thrive in a dynamic environment and have the flexibility to handle varied tasks while under the direction of Project Managers.
· You are self-accountable, proactive, and take immense pride in supporting a team that delivers high-quality work.

Development Coordinator Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development coordinator in Georgia?
Most development coordinator roles in Georgia require a bachelor's degree in nonprofit management, communications, public administration, or business. Georgia does not issue a state license for this role, but earning the Certified Fund Raising Executive credential or completing a certificate through the Georgia Center for Nonprofits strengthens your candidacy considerably. Hands-on experience with donor databases and grant writing is what most Georgia employers weight most heavily when hiring.
Which companies hire development coordinators in Georgia?
Employers hiring development coordinators in Georgia right now include Empire Care Centers, Buffalo Rock Company, and Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta Northeast, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's deep concentration of university systems, health networks, and nationally headquartered nonprofits means sustained, year-round hiring across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most development coordinator jobs?
Atlanta, Duluth, and Savannah have the most development coordinator openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because of its density of nonprofit headquarters, major university systems, and large hospital foundations, while Savannah and Augusta generate consistent openings through their regional health systems, historic preservation organizations, and growing arts and cultural institutions.
Are there remote development coordinator jobs in Georgia?
Yes, and more than many comparable roles. About 50% of development coordinator openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on writing, donor database management, and virtual stewardship. Grant writing and communications-heavy positions are most likely to offer flexible or fully remote arrangements, while event-focused roles typically require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a development coordinator in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an AmeriCorps VISTA placement with a Georgia-based nonprofit, which builds direct fundraising experience and is recognized by Georgia employers as genuine development work. Many Georgia universities, including Georgia State University and the University of Georgia, hire development associates or development assistants as stepping-stone roles. Volunteering with the Georgia Center for Nonprofits or completing their professional development programs, then moving laterally from event coordination or communications roles, is another well-worn route in state.
