Project Coordinator Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a project coordinator in Tennessee?

Most project coordinator roles in Tennessee require at minimum a bachelor's degree in business, construction management, information technology, or a related discipline. Tennessee does not issue a state-specific license for project coordinators, but employers across Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville strongly favor candidates who hold or are pursuing a Certified Associate in Project Management credential from the Project Management Institute. Healthcare-sector roles often add preference for familiarity with HIPAA compliance workflows.

How much do project coordinators make in Tennessee?

Project coordinators in Tennessee earn a median of about $85,890 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,450 for the lowest 10% to over $135,350 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire project coordinators in Tennessee?

Employers hiring project coordinators in Tennessee right now include Cooper Steel, JLL, and L&R, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large healthcare systems, federal energy contractors, and growing technology firms means demand for project coordinators is spread across multiple industries rather than a single sector.

Which Tennessee cities have the most project coordinator jobs?

Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville lead Tennessee in project coordinator openings. Nashville drives the largest share because of its dense healthcare system headquarters and a booming construction pipeline, while Memphis contributes logistics and regional healthcare demand, and Knoxville's volume reflects Tennessee Valley Authority contracting activity and University of Tennessee-affiliated projects.

Are there remote project coordinator jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 25% of project coordinator openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the coordination work involves scheduling, documentation, and stakeholder communication rather than on-site presence. IT and healthcare informatics project coordinator roles tend to offer the highest proportion of fully remote arrangements.

How can I get hired as a project coordinator in Tennessee with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving into a project coordinator role from an adjacent administrative or operations position. Tennessee's large healthcare employers, including hospital networks based in Nashville and Memphis, regularly hire project coordinators from roles such as medical office administrator, operations specialist, or team lead in a clinical department. Pursuing a Certified Associate in Project Management credential while in that adjacent role signals readiness and gives candidates a clear edge over other applicants with no project-specific background.

Where can I find and apply to project coordinator jobs in Tennessee?

You can find and apply to project coordinator jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to this role across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly to the employer from the listing.
