Position Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Resident Project Coordinator to support a large-scale network infrastructure deployment at a new workforce housing campus in the Texas Panhandle.

- Coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, field technicians, and customer representatives.
- Attend on-site coordination meetings as needed and communicate schedule changes, project updates, and outstanding action items.
Network Infrastructure & Field Support
- Support network installation activities involving switches, routers, wireless access points, and structured cabling.
- Coordinate site access, equipment deliveries, storage, and technician scheduling.
- Receive, inspect, document, and secure network equipment and materials.
- Perform basic network equipment checks under the direction of remote engineers, including:
- Verifying power and connectivity status.
- Checking switch port link lights and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
- Validating cable connections against network diagrams or port maps.
- Power-cycling devices and reporting troubleshooting observations.
- Identify infrastructure or installation issues and escalate them to the appropriate technical resources.
Communication & Reporting
- Prepare concise daily progress reports outlining completed work, outstanding issues, upcoming activities, and site conditions.
- Participate in daily stand-ups and weekly project status meetings.
- Maintain assigned project trackers, documentation, and action items.
- Serve as a professional on-site liaison between project leadership, contractors, and field teams.
- Coordinate logistics for visiting engineers and technicians, including site access and arrival schedules.
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in field coordination, site coordination, telecommunications, IT infrastructure, construction support, or a related role.
- Foundational understanding of networking concepts, including:
- Network switches, routers, firewalls, and wireless access points.
- VLANs, trunk/access ports, and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
- Basic IP addressing, subnetting, and routing concepts.
- Reading basic network diagrams and port maps.
- Familiarity with structured cabling, including copper, fiber, network racks, equipment closets, and conduit.
- Experience working with field technicians, contractors, or infrastructure installation teams.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple activities and follow through independently.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Teams, and Excel.
