Facilities Workplace Coordinator - JLL

What this job involves - The Facilities Coordinator will support the day-to-day delivery of workplace and facilities services for a life sciences client, with a strong emphasis on vendor coordination, work order management, workplace services, purchase order administration, and CMMS utilization. This role helps ensure that soft services are delivered consistently, work orders are managed efficiently, vendors are coordinated effectively, and client-facing service standards are maintained across the site.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Coordinate daily facilities and workplace services activities across the client site.
• Serve as a primary contact for soft services support, including coordination of vendors and routine workplace service needs.
• Create, assign, and track work orders in the site’s CMMS or other work order platform.
• Monitor open work orders, follow up with vendors, and help drive timely service completion.
• Support vendor management activities, including scheduling, communication, service coordination, and documentation follow-through.
• Create and manage purchase orders associated with work orders, vendor services, and operational support needs.
• Maintain accurate records related to work orders, vendor activity, service status, invoices, and supporting documentation.
• Support invoice and work order closeout processes by helping ensure completed services are properly documented and matched to the correct records.
• Escalate service delays, operational concerns, and vendor performance issues when needed.
• Deliver a responsive, high-quality workplace experience for the client and site occupants. Internal resources describing work order assignment, vendor coordination, invoice review, and work order closure support this scope well.
• Coordinate third-party vendors performing site services.
• Ensure vendors receive clear scope details, access instructions, and service expectations.
• Track vendor progress and confirm work status updates in the CMMS.
• Support documentation, invoice readiness, and closeout for completed work.
• Help maintain service continuity across workplace and soft service functions. Relevant internal materials show that work order records support status tracking, comments, files, labor/material information, vendor acknowledgment, and invoice workflows.
