A project coordinator needs a strong mix of soft and hard skills. One of the most important soft skills for a project coordinator is communication with team members. Other soft skills include organisation skills, problem-solving skills, and the ability to multitask.
A hard skill a project coordinator will need is the ability to create project schedules with project management software, such as Microsoft Project or Smartsheet. Projects also require a large number of documents, such as project plans and reports. All these documents must be kept well organised and updated.
