DACO Corporation | Operations
Full-time · Hourly, Non-Exempt · Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week
Location: Kent WA (Hybrid)
Pay: $25 - $30 per hour 

Turn moving parts into successful projects. 

Are you the person who brings order to a busy day, catches details others miss, and makes sure everyone knows what happens next? 

At DACO, we’re looking for a Project Coordinator who takes initiative, follows through, and enjoys making things work better. You’ll help guide customer projects from initial planning through installation and invoicing, connecting the people, materials, schedules, and information that keep work moving. 

This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership, build experience across multiple business functions, and help shape a more consistent, effective approach to project execution. Your ideas and follow-through will directly influence how projects get done. 

Why this opportunity stands out 

• See the impact of your work. Help turn customer requirements into completed projects, with clear milestones along the way. 
• Build broad business experience. Work closely with field specialists, technical experts, Engineering, Purchasing, Logistics, Accounting, and installation partners. 
• Help improve the process. Identify what slows projects down and contribute practical solutions the team can use. 
• Put our values into practice. Care for each other, have fun at work, do what’s right, and strive for improvement. 

What you’ll do 

Reporting to the Sr. Operations Manager, you’ll: 

• Build and maintain project timelines, task assignments, and action plans so everyone understands responsibilities and deadlines. 
• Coordinate materials, equipment, vendors, installers, and internal resources to keep projects on schedule. 
• Serve as a reliable point of contact for customers and project partners, sharing updates and addressing questions promptly. 
• Monitor progress, anticipate scheduling conflicts, and help resolve issues before they affect delivery. 
• Create and manage purchase orders, track project costs and field service activity, and partner with Accounting to support accurate, timely invoicing. 
• Keep project records, contracts, documentation, and ERP updates current so teammates and leadership can confidently act on the information. 
• Coordinate required documentation with the Project Design & Estimating Specialist. 
• Help develop and consistently follow repeatable project processes. 

What you’ll bring 

• At least 2 years of experience in project coordination or a similar role. 
• At least 1 year of customer-facing experience. 
• At least 2 years of experience using digital business tools, such as Excel, project management software, ERP systems, or CRMs, including hands-on CRM experience. 
• Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several projects and shifting priorities. 
• Clear, proactive communication—you keep people informed and raise concerns early. 
• Practical problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently while collaborating across teams. 
• The ability to interpret project plans, drawings, flowcharts, and other technical documentation. 
• Proficiency in Outlook, Word, Excel, SharePoint, and Teams, plus comfort working with numbers and project cost information. 

Experience that will help you stand out 

Acumatica or CAD familiarity; experience improving processes; a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or a related field; or PMP or related credentials. 

We’re especially interested in examples of how you’ve worked through an unclear situation, brought people together, or improved a process. 

What success looks like 

Your projects are organized, your records are reliable, and your stakeholders know where things stand. You follow through on commitments, flag risks early, and help the team deliver with greater consistency.
