At Driftwood Communications we’re pioneers in the telecom industry, dedicated to designing, building, and activating comprehensive networks. Headquartered in Saanichton, we serve as a vital hub for Vancouver Island and maintain satellite offices throughout Western Canada to extend our reach. With a legacy spanning three decades, we specialize in delivering solutions that connect communities, empower businesses, and advance technology.

We’re now looking for a Project Coordinator to join our CPM team. The Project Coordinator will play a key role in improving the efficiency of our Construction and Planning & Design teams and will work closely with our National Managers and report directly to the CEO.

In this role, you’ll actively interface between Project Managers, Planning & Design, and Construction teams by handling administrative tasks, supporting clear and efficient communication, assisting with project quoting and hand-off, and proactively removing operational roadblocks.

You'll be responsible for accepting, creating, and submitting project quotes and RFP requests, corresponding with our network of partners, and tasking them for quotes where in-house teams are not available. You will share responsibility for data entry, participate in permit applications, coordinate TCP/TMP teams, create locate tasks, and assist with project tracking.  To be successful in this role, the Project Coordinator must be tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and comfortable solving problems autonomously in a fast-paced environment.

Location: Victoria, BC. We’re looking for this person to join us at our Veyaness Road office in a hybrid capacity. Remote work may be available.

Type: Permanent, full-time 

Compensation: $55,000 - $63,000 annually
