Construction Project Coordinator

Operations and Major/Core Projects Full Time North Vancouver, BC   Carlson Construction Group     Where construction meets storytelling — and your writing skills build the foundation for how we work.
Carlson Construction Group has been a name British Columbia trusts for over 50 years. Proudly family-owned and operated, we celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2021 and have grown into one of BC's largest specialty contractors (Business in Vancouver), specializing in heavy civil, industrial, marine, and deep foundation work. Our group includes Brymark Installations Group, Corwest Fabrications, Vancouver Pile Driving, and Aligned Industrial Services — a family of companies building the infrastructure BC relies on.
The Opportunity    Picture this: dozens of moving projects, hundreds of hard-won lessons learned on-site, and a wealth of operational knowledge living in people's heads instead of on paper. That's where you come in.  We're looking for a sharp, curious Construction Project Coordinator — ideally a recent Grad, EIT, or someone with hands-on construction exposure — to turn the way we work into the way we document work.

You'll translate real, on-the-ground construction processes into clear, standardized operational manuals that our project teams will rely on every day.
This isn't a back-office writing role. You'll be out talking to project managers, superintendents, and field staff, learning how things actually get built — then turning that knowledge into something lasting. And if you're looking for more than a stepping-stone: this role is designed for someone who wants to grow into our Operations team for the long haul, continuing to shape and refine our manuals as the company evolves.
What You'll Be Doing     Develop, write, and organize detailed operational manuals for construction projects
Translate complex, day-to-day workflows into documentation that's actually useful
Standardize processes across multiple projects and teams
Work directly with project managers, superintendents, and field staff to get it right

Help roll out standardized processes across project teams

Recommend and document smarter, more reliable workflows
Keep manuals current as projects and the organization evolve
Partner closely with operations and project teams to keep documentation grounded in reality
Sit in on meetings to capture key processes firsthand
Support training and onboarding with documentation people actually want to read
What We're Looking For    You love turning chaos into clarity. You're the person who color-codes the group project, or the one who always volunteers to write up the meeting notes — because you're good at it.
A recent graduate or early-career professional with a degree/diploma in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field
Construction environment experience (co-op, internship, or full-time) is a strong asset
Excellent writing, editing, and documentation skills
Experience creating procedures, manuals, or process documentation is highly valued
Sharp attention to detail and a genuinely organized mind
Comfortable communicating with both office teams and field crews
Solid Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, SharePoint); construction software experience is a bonus
Self-motivated, curious, and energized by fast-paced environments
