Construction Coordinator

Construction Coordinator

Colorado Springs Utilities is seeking an organized, collaborative, and results-driven professional to serve as a Construction Coordinator within the Operations Work Management Group while supporting the Gas Planner Analyst team and Gas Construction department. This role coordinates pre-construction activities and secures the requirements needed for efficient execution of planned Gas construction work or projects.

As a Construction Coordinator, you will serve as a key partner in the planning and scheduling process by supporting project readiness activities, securing required permits and approvals, coordinating utility locates, and maintaining accurate data. This role plays an important part in ensuring planned work can be executed as scheduled by proactively identifying and resolving permitting, coordination, and readiness issues before construction begins.

This position offers the opportunity to directly contribute to the successful delivery of Gas construction work and projects by bridging the gap between planning and execution, helping ensure work is prepared, coordinated, and positioned for success.

• The successful candidate will work closely with planner analysts, field personnel, utility locators, city and county representatives, Utilities customers, and Colorado 811 personnel to ensure construction work is properly scoped, permitted, coordinated, and ready for execution
• Experience with Utility or Construction and or related licenses, apprenticeships or certifications would be helpful

*A valid, unrestricted driver's license is required for this role.
