Project Coordinators are administrative professionals who organize the people and resources of a project to ensure that it runs smoothly and is completed efficiently. Project Coordinators work in a diverse range of industries, and their duties vary depending on the industry, but they primarily do administrative tasks, such as building schedules, compiling paperwork and setting up meetings, to help keep a project organized. They usually work under a manager in support of one or more project teams.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counts Project Coordinators among Business Operations Specialists, which are projected to have a growth rate of 5 percent, which is as fast as the national average in all industries.
