Construction Project Coordinator (Building Refurbishment) | USA Hours | Remote

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We partner with international US clients and integrate our staff members directly within our clients' operations. We focus on long-term placements where you contribute directly to the client's success.

We are partnering with a growing U.S.-based construction company to recruit a Construction Project Coordinator for residential refurbishment projects (including apartment complexes and multifamily properties) together with light commercial projects across the United States.

This is a fully remote role for a calm, organised and proactive individual who enjoys taking ownership and keeping projects moving. The client's Superintendents are the eyes and hands in the field. You are the person who makes sure they know what to check, follows up on what they find, and keeps every open item moving until it is closed. You will run multiple projects at once from your desk, working closely with subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams to keep work on schedule and on budget.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Internet Requirements: A fixed fibre line with a minimum speed of 25 Mbps (upload & download) and the ability to support a wired Ethernet connection is mandatory. Applicants without a fixed fibre line cannot be considered.
• Power Backup: A reliable power backup solution is required to manage load shedding and power outages. Applicants without a power backup cannot be considered.
• Work Environment: This is a fully remote working role and you must be based in South Africa.

• Coordinate 5–10 multifamily renovation and light commercial projects at a time, from start to close-out
• Brief Superintendents before site visits on what to inspect and verify, and follow up on their field reports afterwards
• Communicate daily with subcontractors, crew leads and suppliers to keep work on schedule
• Coordinate material orders and track deliveries to avoid delays
• Track project budgets, process change orders, and flag cost or schedule risks early, with possible solutions
