Special Projects Coordinator

About the Role

We're looking for a Special Projects Coordinator to join our Special Projects Division.

In this role, you'll be the operational backbone of the team, bringing together project delivery, commercial management, finance, and sales coordination to help ensure projects are delivered efficiently, profitably, and on schedule. You'll be responsible for maintaining project financial controls, supporting project managers, coordinating commercial activities, and ensuring key business processes run smoothly from project inception through to completion.

Our Special Projects team delivers complex, high-value engineering solutions for customers operating within critical infrastructure environments. The team works on bespoke projects that require close collaboration between technical, commercial, and operational functions, giving you exposure across multiple areas of the business and the opportunity to make a genuine impact.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the centre of a fast-moving business. You'll thrive if you're naturally organised, commercially aware, comfortable working with financial information, and enjoy bringing structure to complex projects. If you're looking for a role that's purely administrative, this probably isn't the opportunity for you. If you want visibility, responsibility, and the chance to influence project success, we'd love to hear from you.
