Project Coordinator – Facilities & New Site Development

Weekly outpatient therapy isn't always enough, and a trip to the ER isn't the only answer. Patients and their families rely on Compass Health Center when in crisis – every day, we help people overcome depression, anxiety, suicidality, obsessions/compulsions, trauma, chronic pain, and other obstacles in order for our patients to live freely.

About This Role

If you enjoy cross-functional collaboration, thrive in fast-paced environments, and excel at organizing complex information, we’d love to meet you.

Our dedicated operations teams work behind the scenes to bring our shared mission to life. Each department delivers its own strengths to empower clinicians to focus on their patients and perform the meaningful work that we do every day.

• Track vendor performance and project progress, escalating delays and risks when necessary

• Assist with walkthroughs, inspections, punch lists, and readiness checklists at new and existing sites

• Prepare recurring project updates for senior leadership

• Support onboarding of new facilities including signage, equipment coordination, FF&E tracking, and move logistics

• Perform other relevant duties and special projects as assigned

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s Degree preferred (or equivalent relevant experience)

• 1–4 years of relevant experience in project coordination supporting facility buildouts, renovation and construction administration

• Strong organizational, planning, and documentation skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with confidence interacting across stakeholders

• Comfort working in dynamic, rapidly growing environments where priorities may shift

• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Monday.com, Smartsheet, Asana, Procore) is a plus

• Experience supporting facilities operations, capital projects, or tenant improvements is a plus

• Healthcare or behavioral health experience is a plus, though not required
