Project Coordinator, Turner’s Contracting Services

>> My name is Christie Hennessey [assumed spelling]. And I am a project coordinator. That's the official title of what I do with a small residential remodeling, light commercial construction company that's local. The project management aspect of it encompasses when the job has been sold, working with vendors, which are our subcontractors, the people who actually do the physical work. Working with them to explain the job. What their scope of work would be on the job. Working with the company that does the-- or the people who do our drawings. I am a client liaison so my work with the client is very close. Basically, making sure that what the client is looking to have done is what actually gets done. And then through the job, throughout the work, and like I said it's mostly-- it's remodeling, so this is an existing structure that, say, the homeowners want a new kitchen. And so I work with them to find the details. What do they want to change? Go shopping with them. Just all of the details that surround getting what the client is looking to have done, make sure that gets done. It's-- you-- on certain days we spend time selling, going to do-- seeing new clients. So a phone call will come in and it'll get scheduled. Most of the time, we have one day a week that we set aside to do that where we will go from home to home, take photos, listen to the client as they explain to us what they need done, whether it's a repair, a potential remodel, basically, interviewing them in addition to ourselves being interviewed. You know, and then hopefully at the end of the appointment, there is-- we have enough information to provide a possible proposal if it's a small job or information enough that we would come back and offer a design contract and go into a larger job with that. So that's the sale side. But then on a regular job, sometimes I may be sitting, physically sitting on a job with my computer, answering the phone, doing other stuff but also interacting with the subcontractors if there's a problem. Maybe materials didn't show up on the job that day. Maybe the materials that did show up are wrong. Any kind of potential problems that are going on, it is-- you're physically there to take care of the details or sitting in your office with a phone call making sure that this person is where they're supposed to be, this kind of thing. So it's a non-stop from-- even before I get to work, you know, phone calls, what are we doing today? Who needs to be where? This kind of thing in the car, calling, making sure -- you know, what's supposed to be happening that day until, you know, until you drop dead in the bed at night. You know, it is a busy day.
