Project Coordinator - Operational Readiness Testing Program

Position Summary

Our client, a major utility organisation in South Florida, is seeking a motivated self-starter to support Operational Readiness Testing (ORT) coordination for a large-scale, cross-functional program implementing 200+ SAP systems. This is a project coordination role, not a testing role - the ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, drives work to completion with minimal oversight, and can translate complex information into clear, concise materials suitable for executive and leadership audiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Support ORT planning, execution, and reporting across multiple workstreams
• Partner cross-functionally with business and IT teams to ensure alignment on scope, milestones, and deliverables
• Rally and coordinate teams across the program, identifying the right framework and approach for each phase
• Identify, track, and escalate risks and dependencies proactively
• Develop clear, concise presentations for leadership updates and decision-making
• Define and document entry and exit criteria for ORT phases and milestones
• Track progress against milestones, deliverables, and readiness criteria
• Consolidate inputs and provide structured reporting on status, risks, and dependencies
• Utilise tools such as JIRA (and Qmetry where applicable) to manage testing activities and track progress

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree required
• Prior experience as a project coordinator, driving work independently with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated experience working cross-functionally across business and technical teams
• Background in large-scale system implementations (e.g., SAP) and milestone-based project delivery
• Experience defining and managing ORT entry/exit criteria preferred

Knowledge & Skills

• Strong self-starter with the ability to drive work independently in a fast-paced environment - this is essential
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint - capable of producing executive-ready presentations
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, for tracking, reporting, and data analysis
• Proficiency in JIRA for task and defect management; Qmetry experience a plus
• Ability to define and document entry/exit criteria for ORT phases
• Strong organisational and communication skills with close attention to detail
• Ability to synthesise complex, cross-functional information into concise reporting
