Occupation
Project coordinator
Project coordinators keep a project's administration accurate and current so the project manager can focus on decisions. They maintain plans, logs, and documentation, chase updates from people who are busy elsewhere, and prepare the reporting pack. It is a common entry point into project delivery.
