Costa Mesa, CA (Orange County) | Full‑time

As a Project Coordinator, you are someone who thinks both creatively and operationally. You appreciate beauty, proportion, and materiality‑but also timelines, constructability, and clarity. You enjoy partnering with designers and builders alike, bridging vision and execution. You take pride in a polished and seamless client experience, and you hold yourself to high standards in organization and communication.

• Act as the design‑to‑build liaison: translate architectural and design intent into clear project plans, schedules, and communication with field teams.
• Coordinate design documentation (drawings, material selections, finishes, shop drawings, submittals) and ensure version control and clarity.
• Maintain alignment between design changes and construction implications (cost, schedule, constructability).
• Support project managers and lead designers in driving project momentum, anticipating roadblocks, and keeping all stakeholders informed.
• Monitor project progress, flag risks, track dependencies, maintain design/construction logs, and follow up on design deliverables.
• Facilitate cross‑discipline coordination (architecture, structural, MEP, interior design), and ensure that the design vision is respected during execution.
• Assist in client‑facing design review meetings, present design options, capture feedback, and manage revisions.
• Contribute to the quality assurance of finishes and design details during construction and punch lists.
• Help develop internal design and project processes to improve efficiency and consistency.

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Interior Design, Construction Management, or related field.
• 3‑5 years (or more) of experience in a construction, remodeling, or design/build role with exposure to design coordination.
• Strong fluency in architectural and design documentation (plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details).
• Experience with project management tools, scheduling software, or design collaboration platforms (Procore, Buildertrend, Asana, CoConstruct, or similar).
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and fast‑changing priorities.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills – able to translate technical design details for non‑design stakeholders.
• A keen eye for details in finishes, materials, design intent, and spatial relationships.
• Proactive problem‑solving mindset; anticipates issues and proposes solutions rather than reacting.

• Familiarity with permitting processes, codes, and the local Southern California construction environment.
• Experience or interest in client‑facing design consultation.
• Familiarity with design software such as AutoCAD, Sketch Up, or Revit.

• Complete benefits package including 401K and Life Insurance.
• Opportunities for growth and development.
• A collaborative and fun work environment.

If you thrive in a dynamic environment and are able to adapt to evolving project scopes and shifting needs, we’d love to hear from you! We look forward to connecting with professionals who share our passion for craftsmanship, design integrity, and exceptional project delivery.
