Senior Project Co-Ordinator – Precast Concrete Manufacturing

Location: Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction (CEMC), Worksop, Nottinghamshire

Step off site and into the future of construction.

At Laing O'Rourke, we're transforming how the UK builds – and our Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction (CEMC) in Worksop sits at the heart of that transformation. Home to Explore Manufacturing, Europe's most automated concrete products facility, CEMC delivers precision-engineered components for some of the UK's most complex and iconic infrastructure projects.

We are now looking for a Senior Project Co-Ordinator to lead the coordination of precast delivery across design, manufacturing and on-site assembly – ensuring certainty, quality and exceptional client service every step of the way.

The Opportunity

As Senior Project Co-Ordinator, you will play a pivotal leadership role within the EIP (Explore Industrialised Products) team. You will oversee the supply of precast products to customers in line with agreed specifications, programme and cost, ensuring seamless communication between all project stakeholders.

You'll take ownership of project coordination activities – from early design integration and production planning through to final delivery – and will guide and support Project Co-Ordinators to achieve high-quality outcomes.

This role is ideal for an experienced Project Co-Ordinator, construction manager or design/production professional ready to step up into a senior leadership and coordination position within modern construction delivery.

• Securing and managing production capacity bookings to ensure programme compliance and budget alignment.

• Coordinating the timely procurement and delivery of moulds and patterns to meet manufacturing requirements.

Commercial & Risk Management

• Taking accountability for the commercial performance of each project – monitoring costs, risks, liabilities and opportunities.

• Preparing and presenting a monthly commercial report, including contribution to contract reviews.

Delivery Assurance & Reporting

• Monitoring progress across all elements – design, manufacture, delivery and supply chain – identifying deviations and implementing recovery plans where needed.

• Leading project reporting through the EIP tracker system, ensuring high-quality and timely information flow to project teams.

• Working with procurement to develop and track material procurement schedules for non-standard items.

Client Interface & Quality Management

• Attending site progress meetings, coordination workshops and APQP launches.

• Investigating customer concerns, NCRs or quality issues in accordance with EIP processes – ensuring thorough resolution and client satisfaction.

• Collecting and reviewing information on materials and detailing used on cladding projects to confirm compatibility and suitability.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in project coordination within construction, precast manufacturing or a related discipline.

• Degree-qualified in Construction, Civil Engineering or a similar field (preferred).

• Proven ability to lead, influence and coordinate across multidisciplinary teams.

• Highly organised with strong commercial awareness and a proactive, problem-solving approach.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with clients, designers, engineers and production teams.

Key Skills & Behaviours

• Collaborative, supportive and team-focused.

• Influential communicator who gains respect from colleagues and clients.
