Conklin Metal Industries – Atlanta North Branch

6875 Best Friend Rd, Ste 100, Doraville, GA 30340

About the Role

Our Atlanta North branch is growing, and we're looking for an Administrative Support Specialist who wants to grow with it. This isn't a role where you'll do the same five things on repeat every day. You'll be the organizational backbone of the branch: the person the Branch Manager, the Warehouse Manager, and the Shipping Manager can hand something to and trust it'll get done right, on time, and without having to check in twice.

One day you might be reconciling expense reports or processing a purchase order. The next, you're coordinating a vendor repair on a piece of fleet equipment, helping an associate through open enrollment, or pulling together the details for a branch event. It's real variety, but it all runs through the same throughline: precision, follow-through, and being someone people can count on.

If you're the kind of person who keeps a tidy inbox, double-checks your own work before anyone asks you to, and genuinely likes being the dependable center of a busy operation, this role was built for you. And because the branch is still growing, this job is not static. It will evolve, and so will your responsibilities, which means there's real room here to expand what you own over time.

What You'll Do

Purchasing & Replenishment

• Manage branch-managed replenishment and purchase orders, keeping the branch stocked and operations running without interruption
• Support inventory tracking and purchasing of branch supplies

Expense Reconciliation & Reporting

• Reconcile and report branch expenses accurately and on schedule, giving branch leadership a clear, trustworthy view of the numbers

Administrative & Clerical Support

• Serve as a first point of contact for administrative inquiries by email and other channels on behalf of the branch
• Maintain organized digital and paper filing systems, including structuring electronic data storage (e.g., Teams folders), so information is easy to find when it's needed
• Carry out directives from the Branch Manager and provide administrative support to the Warehouse and Shipping Managers

HR & Onboarding Support

• Guide associates through HR-related functions such as annual enrollment and training with patience and clarity
• Support onboarding and training initiatives for new branch employees, helping them feel set up for success from day one

Event Planning & Execution

• Plan and execute branch events, handling the logistics so the team can just show up and enjoy them

Vendor Coordination

• Own vendor communications for service and repairs, including building, machinery, fleet, and trailers, keeping projects moving and relationships strong

Sales & Order Support (Limited)

• Provide basic backup sales support as needed; this is a limited part of the role rather than a primary responsibility
• Assist with PO/SO returns on a limited basis as branch processes evolve (note: PO/TO receipting is not part of this role)

What We're Looking For

• P21 experience strongly preferred
• Replenishment/purchasing experience
• Strong clerical and data entry background
• Experience with expense reconciliation and reporting
• Experience assisting with HR-related functions (annual enrollment, training, etc.) preferred
• Strong organizational and time management skills, including digital and paper file maintenance
• Experience with event planning and execution
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Adaptable and resourceful, with the ability to quickly learn new systems and processes with minimal direction
• A strong personality and culture fit, someone who builds real relationships across the branch team

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED (higher education a plus)
• Previous experience in an administrative role, preferably in manufacturing or industrial distribution
• Computer proficiency and genuine comfort using technology are required for this role, including ERP/MRP software (P21 preferred) and Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint

Why You'll Love Working Here

• A stable, family-owned company in its fourth generation, with 150+ years of history and no signs of slowing down
• A branch that's actively growing, with room for this role, and you, to grow along with it
• A close-knit team where your contributions are visible and valued, not lost in a big-company shuffle

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation: $24–$28/hour, based on experience
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, typical hours 7:00 AM–4:00 PM or 4:30 PM
• Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, LTD, STD, 401(k) with company match, PTO, 10 Company-paid holidays
