Global Coordinator - D&C Project Controls Program

(London, UK)

Position Overview

The Global Coordinator serves as the global eyes and ears of the D&C Project Controls Intake Program, supporting regional Project Intake Manager (PIM) leads — who serve as the primary points of contact for incoming project requests — across new construction, renovations (large/medium), and small-scale projects. Based in London, this role oversees and supports all Project Intake Coordinators across EMEA, APAC, and AMER, working alongside regional PIM managers to ensure efficient project initiation, consistency of processes, and standardization where needed. Proximity to key stakeholders and leadership is crucial for effective collaboration and decision-making. The position combines strategic oversight, program-wide visibility, and analytical capabilities to optimize intake processes, drive standardization across regions, and provide performance insights with clear SLA targets for each project type.

• Oversee and support all regional Project Intake Coordinators, monitoring end-to-end intake execution to ensure reactive (1–5 days) and proactive (25–40 day) tracks stay on target while tracking AI-triage performance and Coordinator workload balance.

• Support regional PIM managers in resolving complex routing decisions, resource conflicts, priority disputes, and ambiguous categorization across stakeholder teams globally.

Information Verification & Quality Control

• Evaluate completeness and quality of initial project information including scope definitions, budgets, timelines, and stakeholder documentation.

• Identify gaps in project requirements and engage requestors to gather missing details before assignment.

• Maintain standardized intake templates and checklists to ensure consistent information capture across all requests and regions.

• Enforce documentation standards that enable accurate project scoping and reduce downstream rework.

Stakeholder Coordination & Communication

• Supports intake calls (weekly/bi-weekly) and kickoff meetings with internal customers, project sponsors, and D&C Project Controls teams across all regions.

• Coordinate across multiple stakeholder groups including operations, finance, real estate, facilities, and business units globally.

• Communicate program health, standardization updates, and performance insights to D&C leadership and regional PIM managers.

• Serve as a trusted liaison between regional PIM teams and senior leadership, ensuring alignment on expectations and priorities across EMEA, APAC, and AMER.

Reporting & Analytics

• Monitor dashboards tracking intake volume, request types, assignment patterns, and processing timelines across all regions.

• Analyze performance metrics including time-to-assignment, request completion rates, and resource utilization at both regional and global levels.

• Identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for process improvement within the intake workflow.

• Prepare regular reports on intake productivity, team performance, and operational efficiency for D&C Project Controls leadership.

Process Optimization

• Continuously evaluate and refine intake procedures to improve efficiency and stakeholder experience across all regions.

• Recommend and implement improvements to intake forms, routing criteria, and coordination protocols.

• Collaborate with regional PIM managers and D&C Project Controls leadership to establish service level agreements and performance standards.

• Maintain comprehensive documentation of intake processes, routing guidelines, and best practices.

• Champion a culture of continuous improvement by gathering feedback from regional PIM managers and coordinators, analyzing trends, and driving process optimization initiatives globally.
