Essential Job Duties

Through thoughtful communication, organization, and follow-through, you will support critical administrative responsibilities, strengthen collaboration, and ensure research teams have the coordination and infrastructure needed to advance the initiative’s objectives and successfully meet project milestones.
Key responsibilities will fall within the following functional areas:

- Monitor project progress, identify emerging risks and operational challenges, and recommend practical mitigation strategies to project leadership and investigators.
- Lead and document project status meetings, communicate project updates, and prepare summaries and materials for investigators, advisory groups, and funding agencies as needed.
- Maintain visibility into project activities, deliverables, schedules, and operational needs while promptly communicating issues and coordinating solutions with project participants.
Operations & Administrative Management

- Prepare post-event reports and summaries documenting participation, outcomes, recommendations, and follow-up actions. Partner with project leadership to identify, coordinate, and monitor resources needed to support project activities and strategic priorities.
If you are an organized, collaborative professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex research initiatives, building strong partnerships, and keeping projects moving toward meaningful outcomes, this role offers an opportunity to make a direct impact on an NIH-funded initiative. Your coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills will help connect people, processes, and resources to support successful project execution and advance the initiative’s research goals.

Project Coordinator Jobs in Raleigh: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a project coordinator job in Raleigh?
Focus your search on Raleigh's three strongest hiring pockets: construction and infrastructure firms anchored downtown and along the Beltline, technology companies clustered near North Hills and the Research Triangle Park fringe, and healthcare systems based in and around the medical district. Candidates who tailor their resume to the specific industry, hold a CAPM or PMP, and demonstrate experience with tools like Smartsheet or Jira consistently move to the top of local shortlists.
Which companies hire project coordinators in Raleigh?
Employers hiring project coordinators in Raleigh right now include CRB, Siemens, and Stantec, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Raleigh's mix of large healthcare systems, mid-size tech firms, state government agencies, and regional construction contractors means openings appear across a wide range of employer sizes and project types.
Are there remote project coordinator jobs in Raleigh?
Yes, though availability depends heavily on the role: desk-based coordination in software, finance, and government contracting skews remote-friendly, while construction and facilities roles almost always require on-site presence. About 50% of project coordinator openings tied to Raleigh are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the city's strong technology and government contracting sectors. Software and consulting employers in North Hills and RTP drive most of the hybrid availability.
How can I get a project coordinator job in Raleigh with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Raleigh is targeting project administrator or project assistant roles at mid-size construction firms, local government agencies, or healthcare systems, where coordinators are often promoted from within. NC State University's continuing education programs and Wake County government internships are recognized local stepping stones. Demonstrating proficiency in project management software and volunteering to run small internal projects gives entry-level candidates a concrete edge over applicants with only coursework.
Which industries hire the most project coordinators in Raleigh?
The sectors hiring the most project coordinators in Raleigh are Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Raleigh's sustained construction boom, its concentration of technology and life sciences companies near Research Triangle Park, and its large state government and healthcare infrastructure together make it one of the more active markets for this role in the Southeast.
