AGC San Diego is a well-established chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America, a leading association that represents the commercial construction industry. The organization is known for its dedication to advancing the interests of its members by providing valuable networking opportunities, industry insights, advocacy, and professional development. AGC San Diego plays a critical role in connecting specialty contractors, construction leaders, and affiliate members to foster collaboration and growth within the construction sector. The chapter organizes numerous events throughout the year across various locations in San Diego and occasionally out of town, offering members chances to engage, learn, and advance their professional goals.

The role of Event and Social Media Coordinator at AGC San Diego is a pivotal position responsible for the comprehensive planning and organization of all events hosted by the chapter. This includes managing logistics, contract negotiations, sponsorships, attendance tracking, agenda setting, speaker coordination, menu selection, budgeting, and marketing. The coordinator serves as the staff liaison for multiple key committees, including the Meetings and Events Committee, Affiliate Members’ Council, Specialty Contractor’s Council, and the Construction Leadership Council. This role requires excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively to ensure successful event execution.

In addition to event coordination, a significant focus of this position is managing social media content in support of events and across all AGC San Diego functions. The coordinator creates engaging social media posts across platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to boost member engagement and promote the association’s mission. This dual focus on events and social media requires a creative and strategic mindset, as well as proficiency with tools like Adobe InDesign and Canva for content creation.

This full-time role offers a competitive salary of $70,500, along with a comprehensive benefits package including pension plan, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, vacation, and sick pay. The position operates primarily out of the Lakeside headquarters with typical office hours from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and requires some travel to coordinate and attend events throughout the region. AGC San Diego seeks a candidate with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, public relations, business administration/management, hospitality administration, or a related field, or equivalent experience. The ideal candidate brings two to four years of related experience, prioritizing social media management skills over event experience. This role demands a strong professional ethic, exceptional communication and customer service skills, and the ability to be flexible and proactive in a dynamic work environment.
