About The Position

Johnson Construction Group is seeking a Project Coordinator to support our commercial and residential construction operations. This position works under the direction of our Project Managers and General Superintendent. You will keep project documentation organized and current, track materials and selections, help the field get what it needs when it needs it, and keep information moving between the jobsite and the office. You will split your time between our Newnan office and active jobsites. This is a coordination and documentation role, not a management role.
