Virtual Project Coordinator – Structural Steel & Metalwork

Virtual Project Coordinator – Structural Steel & Metalwork

We are seeking a capable and detail-focused Virtual Project Coordinator based in the Philippines to assist with the coordination of structural steel and bespoke architectural metalwork projects.

You will work directly with the business owner and support the day-to-day technical and administrative requirements of active projects. The role will involve reviewing drawings, preparing material take-offs, coordinating material orders, maintaining project records, following up suppliers, and helping ensure that information is organised and available when required.

Strong experience using Tekla Structures is highly desirable. Candidates with previous experience working for a structural steel fabricator, metalwork contractor, engineering company, or construction business will be strongly preferred.

Key responsibilities may include:

Preparing and checking material take-offs from Tekla models and fabrication drawings
Assisting with steel, hardware, fixings, and consumable orders
Maintaining project schedules, procurement trackers, and drawing registers
Following up suppliers, subcontractors, and internal tea ---------- mbers
Reviewing drawings and identifying missing information or potential issues
Preparing purchase order information and comparing supplier quotations
Organising project files, correspondence, and technical documentation
Assisting with fabrication and installation planning
Providing regular updates on outstanding actions, procurement, and project priorities

The ideal candidate will be organised, technically minded, proactive, and comfortable working independently. You must have strong written English, good construction knowledge, and the confidence to raise questions when drawings, quantities, or instructions appear unclear.

This is not a general administrative VA role. It is best suited to someone with genuine experience in structural steel, metal fabrication, Tekla detailing, estimating, procurement, or construction project coordination.

The role will initially focus on reducing the administrative and coordination workload of the business owner, while gradually developing greater responsibility across procurement, documentation, project tracking, and technical coordination.
