POSITION INFO:
About the role We are looking for a detail-oriented, proactive Project Coordinator Intern to join our team.

You will work closely with our internal Project Managers to track milestones, facilitate communication across departments, and ensure that our deliverables meet deadlines without breaking a sweat. Responsibilities Project Tracking: Assist in maintaining project schedules, Gantt charts, and task lists. Documentation: Organize and maintain project files, meeting minutes, and status reports. Meeting Coordination: Schedule internal and external meetings, prepare agendas, and follow up on action items to keep momentum high.

Tech Savvy: Familiarity with Microsoft Office 365. You're comfortable picking up new tools and software quickly. Adaptability and Curiosity: You can pivot quickly when project scopes change (and they always do). You don't just want to check boxes; you want to understand how a project goes from an idea to a finished product. What You'll Gain Mentorship: Direct access to experienced Project Managers who are invested in your career growth. Hands-on Experience: Real-world exposure to the Telecommunications project lifecycle from kickoff to closeout. Portfolio Building: Tangible results and projects you can point to in future interviews.
