About the role:As a Project Coordinator at SHAPE, you'll be right at the heart of project delivery—working alongside Site Managers and Project Managers to help deliver safe, high-quality projects on time and on budget. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role where no two days look the same. You'll be involved across site operations, subcontractor coordination, cost and programme management, safety, quality, and project documentation, using SHAPE's industry-leading systems to keep everything moving seamlessly. Just as importantly, you'll bring the right mindset—someone who takes ownership, builds strong relationships, thrives in a team environment, and lives our values every day. At SHAPE, how you do the job matters just as much as what you deliver, and this role offers genuine exposure, responsibility, and a clear pathway to grow your career in a business that backs its people.
* Assist Site and Project Managers to deliver projects safely, on time and within budget, in accordance with SHAPE's EHSQ and Project Delivery Systems.
* Coordinate day-to-day site activities, including subcontractor sequencing, site inductions, safety signage, inspections, quality checks and defect management.
