How It Works

Hire Operations Coordinators in 3 steps

A structured process for the ops coordinator hire — the role that decides whether your operations leaders spend their week driving projects or chasing paperwork.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. We align on which operations leader the role supports, how many active projects sit in the portfolio, the reporting and meeting cadence, the systems in play (Procore, Smartsheet, Microsoft 365, ERP touchpoints), and your start date.

Step 02

Review talent

Within 1–2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Operations Coordinators with verified construction-operations experience in your sector. Every profile includes references from the operations leaders they supported — not just HR confirmations.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire does not stick, we rerun the search — no drama, no renegotiation.

Why iRecruit.co

What makes our Operations Coordinator shortlist different

Construction-native, not generic admin

Every candidate has worked inside a GC, subcontractor, owner, or developer operation. They know what a submittal is, why certified payroll matters, and why the Friday ops report cannot slip — you are not training the industry from scratch.

Systems fluency verified

We test working fluency in the tools your operation actually runs on — Procore, Smartsheet, Microsoft 365, Excel, and the reporting side of ERPs like Viewpoint Vista or Sage 300 CRE — before a profile reaches you.

Follow-through you can reference

Coordinators live or die on closure. We reference-verify action-item tracking, meeting-minute discipline, and reporting reliability with the operations leaders they supported on real project portfolios.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every Operations Coordinator

Construction operations exposure

Verified time supporting construction operations — business-unit, regional, or multi-project — with fluency in the documents and rhythms of an AEC operation.

Systems + reporting

Working command of Procore, Smartsheet, Microsoft 365, and Excel, plus the ability to assemble clean weekly and monthly reporting packs from ERP and project data.

Coordination discipline

Reference-verified meeting cadence management, minutes and action logs, subcontractor onboarding paperwork, and vendor coordination that closes loops instead of opening them.

Office-to-field communication

Reference-verified professionalism as the hub between operations leadership, field teams, vendors, and clients — clear, fast, and organized under deadline pressure.

FAQ

Hiring an Operations Coordinator

How long does it take to hire?

Time to shortlist is typically 1–2 weeks — coordinator-level searches move faster than leadership searches. Total time to placement is typically 2–4 weeks depending on notice periods.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on engagement model. A single hire typically routes through contingent recruiting support; teams building several support roles at once usually get better economics through embedded recruiting or RPO.

What does an Operations Coordinator earn in 2026?

Most US Operations Coordinators in construction earn $55,000–$78,000 base. Experienced coordinators supporting large business units in major metros or mission-critical programs reach $80,000–$90,000. We calibrate to your market on the scoping call.

How is an Operations Coordinator different from a Project Coordinator?

An Operations Coordinator supports an operations leader or business unit across many projects — reporting, cadence, onboarding, logistics. A Project Coordinator sits inside one project team supporting its PM and engineers.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model.

How is iRecruit.co different?

We reference-verify follow-through — action-item closure, reporting reliability, meeting discipline — with the operations leaders each candidate actually supported. Most firms stop at tenure and software keywords.
