Telecoms Project Coordinator

Telecoms Civil Project Coordinator

£29,000–£30,000 | Permanent

I’m recruiting on behalf of an established telecommunications infrastructure business for a Telecoms Civil Project Coordinator to support FTTH civil engineering projects from initial survey and mobilisation through to construction, reinstatement, handover and close-out.

This is a hands-on coordination role where you’ll help keep projects organised, on schedule and fully documented. Working closely with project teams, site staff, subcontractors, suppliers, clients and local authorities, you’ll monitor progress, manage information and escalate risks or delays.

Key Responsibilities

Coordinate FTTH civils projects from survey and mobilisation through to construction, reinstatement, handover and close-out.

Maintain project trackers, build programmes, action logs, document registers, risk and issue logs, permit trackers, defect logs, site records and reporting schedules.

Liaise with Project Managers, Delivery Managers, site teams, civil gangs, fibre teams, designers, subcontractors, suppliers, clients, local authorities and statutory undertakers.

Coordinate streetworks permits, notices, traffic management requirements, drawings, project packs, specifications, method statements, risk assessments and inspection records.

Monitor build milestones, update progress records and identify delays, blockers and permit constraints.

Escalate project risks, delays and issues promptly.

Support procurement and resource coordination, including subcontractor details, civils materials, ducting, chambers, reinstatement materials, plant, deliveries and site access.

Ensure Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental documentation is requested, reviewed, distributed and filed correctly.

Support project handovers, reporting and close-out activities.

Key Relationships

You’ll work with:

Project Managers and FTTH Delivery Managers.

Site Managers, Supervisors and civil gangs.

Civils, Fibre, Survey and Design teams.

Streetworks, permitting and local authority contacts.

Commercial, Finance, Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental teams.

Subcontractors, suppliers and plant providers.

Clients, network operators and statutory bodies.

About You

Strong administration, coordination and organisational skills.

Excellent attention to detail and accurate record-keeping.

Confident communicating with internal and external stakeholders.

Proactive, practical and comfortable chasing information and resolving issues.

Able to manage multiple projects, deadlines and competing priorities.

Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

Experience using project trackers, document registers or business management systems.

Understanding of project coordination, construction or infrastructure environments.

A flexible, positive “get stuck in” attitude.

Experience in FTTH, telecoms, civils, streetworks, utilities, construction or a similar infrastructure environment would be advantageous. However, transferable coordination skills and the right attitude are equally important.
