About the role

The coordinator keeps the paperwork, records, and schedule moving so the project team can focus on delivery. The work supports district energy decarbonization at two Canadian Forces bases: cogeneration, heat pumps, steam-to-low-temperature hot water conversion, thermal energy storage, and building automation.

The coordinator is the single point of control for project records in Procore and JCI's document control system (SharePoint with controlled templates and a standard numbering scheme).

Document control

• Apply JCI's document numbering, revision, and approval standards (ISO 9001-aligned) to every deliverable
• Manage the master document register and transmittals to consultants, and subcontractors
• Keep Procore and the SharePoint document control system in sync, with one source of truth per record
