Job Summary The Preconstruction Coordination Specialist plays a critical role in ensuring deployment execution is structured, predictable, and complete. This role exists because deployment breakdowns rarely come from lack of effort-they come from lack of clear ownership across readiness and close-out. This position brings discipline and follow-through to several high-impact deployment areas, including long lead-time material readiness, construction pacing, billing reconciliation, and project close-out. Success in this role means sites open without coordination-driven delays-and finish cleanly once they do. The Preconstruction Coordination Analyst will be a key element in developing the process to enable large scale, distributed build out of an asset network.
