Job description
Graduate Project Coordinator
Are you looking for an opportunity to establish a career in project management?
Do you want to work in an environment where your progression matters?
Are you looking to join a company that empowers your development?
About Us:
Track Consulting is a multi-disciplinary PFI project management and surveying company with two decades of experience in the construction and FM industry. Our office is based in north Cardiff, with projects situated at public sites (hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.) across the UK.

We are looking for a Graduate Project Coordinator to join our friendly and growing team.

You will have the opportunity to receive formal training in accredited schemes, such as Prince2 (Foundation, Practitioner), RIBA, and MS Projects. This will allow you to grow your knowledge, alongside crucial on-the-job project experience and education.
You will have excellent exposure from the outset, working closely with colleagues, company directors and senior client representatives. As a result, you will quickly expand your knowledge and professional skills within this project management setting.
About the Role:
As a Graduate Project Coordinator, your day-to-day responsibilities will initially involve:
- Acting as the point of contact for our clients and contractors, on calls and via emails.
- Collaborating with various stakeholders to define requirements and prioritisation.
- Managing meetings including logistics, invitations, schedules, and attendance.
- Writing notes and minute taking, including maintaining and updating action logs.
- Ensuring actions are followed up and progressed by parties between meetings.

- Drafting update reports, both internally and for clients.
- Reviewing, analysing, reporting, and presenting data in an accessible manner.
- Supporting your team and/or project manager in completion of their tasks.
