The Role
We are a growing damp proofing and property preservation company based in Derby, delivering specialist remedial works across the East Midlands.
We're looking for an experienced Operations & Projects Coordinator to take ownership of the day-to-day running of our projects. You'll be responsible for planning work, coordinating subcontractors, organising our installation teams, ordering materials, scheduling jobs, carrying out site visits and ensuring every project is completed safely, efficiently and to the high standards our customers expect.
This is a key role within the business and is ideal for someone who enjoys organising people, solving problems and keeping multiple projects moving without constant supervision.

- Organise damp proofing, basement waterproofing, plastering and associated remedial works.
- Coordinate subcontractors and maintain strong working relationships.
- Organise company staff and daily workloads.
- Order materials and manage deliveries.
- Schedule projects to maximise productivity and minimise downtime.
- Monitor project progress and resolve operational issues.
- Carry out site visits and quality inspections.
- Keep customers informed throughout their projects.
- Ensure projects are completed on time, within budget and to a high standard.
- Work closely with the Director to continually improve business operations.
Essential Experience
- Previous experience coordinating construction, property maintenance or trade-based projects.
- Experience managing subcontractors and multiple live projects.
- Excellent planning and organisational skills.
- Confident using computers, email and Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
- Able to work independently and make decisions.
- Full UK driving licence.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who takes ownership and gets things done. You'll be trusted to organise projects from start to finish, manage subcontractors, support our installation teams and ensure customers receive an outstanding service.
Construction knowledge is essential, but we're more interested in finding someone who is organised, proactive and capable of keeping multiple jobs running smoothly.
Salary & Benefits
- £30,000–£32,000 per year, depending on experience.
- Company phone and laptop.
- Mileage allowance for business travel.
- Long-term career opportunity within a fast-growing specialist damp proofing and property preservation company.
- Supportive team with genuine opportunity to grow as the business expands.
This version makes it immediately clear that the company specialises in damp proofing and property preservation while keeping the role broad enough to attract experienced construction coordinators rather than only people who've worked in damp proofing.
Pay: £2,333.00-£2,667.00 per month

- Company pension
- On-site parking
- Referral programme
