Project & Operations Coordinator
Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Company: YL Marine Construction
Work Location: In person (Office & Job Sites)
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday
YL Marine Construction is seeking an organized, motivated, and detail-oriented Project & Operations Coordinator to join our growing team. This hybrid role blends essential in-office administrative management with hands-on field coordination.
Rather than focusing strictly on high-level oversight, this position serves as the vital operational link between our administrative office, clients, and field crews executing dock, seawall, piling, and boat lift installations.
The ideal candidate possesses a background in construction (or at least a foundational understanding of construction), strong computer literacy, and excellent organizational skills. This role is well-suited for a resourceful professional who possesses sound judgment and is eager to develop a long-term career within the marine construction industry. While extensive construction experience is preferred, it is not a prerequisite. This role prioritizes candidates who possess a strong drive to learn, high self-motivation, and a natural aptitude for practical problem-solving.

Administrative & Operations Support:
- Manage project files and essential documentation to ensure steady project progression.
- Assist in scheduling, material procurement, and equipment logistics.
- Act as a central point of contact to ensure effective communication between management, clients, and field crews.
- Utilize company software to update project statuses and maintain accurate records.
Field & Project Coordination:
- Conduct local job site visits to monitor progress, document milestones with photos, and verify resource availability for field crews.
- Assist with quality control inspections to ensure work aligns with engineering plans, local permit regulations, and company standards.
- Identify day-to-day operational challenges and apply practical problem-solving skills to minimize delays.
- Reinforce job site safety protocols and company operational standards.
Qualifications
- Experience: 1–3 years of experience in an office administrative or operational support role, combined with foundational exposure to construction, carpentry, or marine industries.
- Skills: Proficiency in standard office software and scheduling capabilities. Ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing.
- Attributes: Exceptional organizational skills, strong practical reasoning, and an adaptable, proactive approach to daily tasks.
- Requirements:
- Valid driver's license
- Comfortable splitting time between a professional office environment and active, outdoor job sites.
- Strong attention to detail with a proven ability to manage paperwork and timelines effectively.
- YL Marine Construction is a drug-free workplace; pre-employment drug testing is required.
- Ability to lift/carry 50+ lbs.
