As an Administrative Project Coordinator with Facilities, you will play a highly visible role supporting the systems, processes, and project coordination that help UVA Health deliver exceptional care, research, and education.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a highly organized professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex work, managing information across multiple stakeholders, and helping projects move from concept to completion. More than a traditional administrative position, this role combines administrative expertise, project coordination, process improvement, and operational support in a mission-driven healthcare environment.

The Role

As the Administrative Project Coordinator, you will serve as a central resource for communication, coordination, documentation, and project support across Facilities operations. You will partner with leaders, project teams, and stakeholders to ensure information is organized, projects remain on track, and critical administrative functions are executed with excellence.

In a typical day, you may:

• Coordinate meetings, develop agendas, document meeting minutes, and manage follow-up actions.

• Provide calendar management and scheduling support for leaders and project teams.

• Track project requests, deliverables, timelines, and status updates across multiple initiatives.

• Create presentations, reports, and professional communications for operational and leadership needs.

• Organize and maintain records, documentation, and departmental information systems.

• Develop sustainable workflows and tracking tools that improve visibility and efficiency.

• Support business operations by coordinating information across departments and stakeholders.

• Manage incoming requests and help ensure timely completion of projects and action items.

• Contribute to process improvement efforts that strengthen communication, organization, and project execution.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys solving problems, and takes pride in creating order from complexity. Success comes from strong organizational skills, initiative, adaptability, and the ability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
