Job Title: Mechanical Coordinator
Location: ONSITE, Indianapolis, IN
Work Arrangement: Onsite - this role requires regular presence on an active construction site for walkdowns, inspections, and turnover coordination


About the Role

We're looking for a Mechanical Coordinator to join a large-scale GMP construction and commissioning program. In this role, you'll be the single source of truth for system readiness - tracking every mechanical and process system from design through construction, Mechanical Completion, Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q), and final handover to operations.

You'll own the turnover process end-to-end: validating documentation, coordinating walkdowns, resolving punch list items, and keeping stakeholders across construction, engineering, C&Q, and operations aligned on system status. This is a highly visible, cross-functional role reporting to the Project Construction Lead.

What You'll Do

System Tracking & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date system trackers spanning design, construction, commissioning, and turnover
  • Validate contractor-submitted data against project milestones
  • Build clear readiness dashboards and reporting in Power BI
  • Flag data gaps, discrepancies, and schedule risks early, escalating to the right stakeholders

Turnover Management

  • Define and manage acceptance criteria for system turnover packages (equipment + documentation)
  • Review turnover packages from contractors for completeness and GMP/GDP compliance
  • Verify installation records, ITRs, construction test packs, weld records, and vendor documentation
  • Plan and sequence system turnovers to align with the overall project schedule

Coordination & Compliance

  • Schedule and coordinate Mechanical Completion walkdowns and inspections across teams
  • Own punch list creation, tracking, and closeout
  • Serve as the central point of contact for turnover activities between construction, C&Q, engineering, contractors, and operations
  • Support project documentation workflows and regulatory-compliant records retention
  • Ensure all activities align with company and regulatory EHS requirements

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in system turnover, commissioning, qualification (C&Q), or construction specifically within regulated industries (pharma, biotech, or life sciences) - general construction coordination experience will not meet this bar
  • Working knowledge of GMP/GDP documentation standards
  • Engineering or Construction Management degree or diploma

Why This Role

  • High-visibility position on a large-scale, regulated capital construction program
  • Direct exposure to the full project lifecycle - design through C&Q and handover
  • Strong growth path into senior commissioning, turnover, or project leadership roles within the life sciences construction space
