This role is for someone who lives in the details.
If you’re known as the person who catches errors others miss, cleans up complex documents before they go out the door, and keeps technical teams organized without being asked twice — keep reading.
About the RoleWe’re hiring a Technical Administrative Project Coordinator to support engineering project managers in a document‑heavy, accuracy‑critical environment.
This is not a general admin, receptionist, accounting, or marketing role.
It’s a technical administrative position where precision, formatting, and document quality matter just as much as organization.
