Project Coordinator

Guardian Data LLC•South Hackensack, NJ

2h•$25 - $29•Onsite

About The Position

Guardian operates with a client-first, execution-driven model built on clear ownership, disciplined handoffs, and operational rigor. Our clients trust Guardian with sensitive time-critical and technically complex work, including data erasure, data center decommissioning, and large-scale IT asset disposition projects. That trust depends on precision coordination, responsive communication, and disciplined follow-through across every phase of execution. As a Project Coordinator you sit at the center of that execution. You are responsible for coordinating complex field projects that span multiple technicians, locations, timelines, and service types. You work closely with the Field Support team and field technicians to ensure projects are properly planned, staffed, communicated, and executed. You keep work moving, surface risk early, and ensure projects close cleanly. At Guardian, Client Operations owns client outcomes, Field (Execution) Operations owns onsite delivery, and Project Coordination ensures complex work executes without friction. Your role exists to manage complexity. Data erasure and data center projects require tight sequencing, accurate documentation, technician readiness, and constant communication. You are responsible for keeping all moving parts aligned from pre-project planning through final closeout. This role is designed for a coordinator who has moved beyond basic scheduling and is ready to own multi-day, multi-site, or multi-technician projects with real operational risk and client visibility.

Responsibilities

Plan and coordinate data erasure, data center decommissioning, and other advanced ITAD services. Confirm scope timelines, staffing requirements, travel needs, and dependencies before work begins.
Work directly with Field Support and field technicians to ensure alignment and clarity on readiness. Confirm technician assignments, travel plans, access requirements, equipment needs, and job sequencing.
Serve as a central point of coordination for internal stakeholders and select client communications. Provide clear updates, manage changes, and escalate risks before they impact delivery.
Monitor active projects for timing gaps, documentation issues, or execution risk. Resolve what is within scope and escalate issues quickly when intervention is required.
Ensure chain-of-custody records, certificates of data destruction, asset inventories, and project documentation are complete, accurate, and submitted on time. Prepare projects for clean closeout and billing.
Keep ERP, CRM, and project tracking tools accurate and current. Complex projects fail when data is wrong. Your role prevents that.
