  • 3–5+ years of experience in operations administration, office administration, logistics support, or related roles.
  • Strong organizational skills and experience managing records, permits, and operational documentation.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Business, Operations, or a related field preferred. Equivalent industry experience will be considered.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus, but not required.
What You’ll Do
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support workforce coordination, scheduling, and time-off administration.
  • Manage operational documentation, including permits, contracts, and records retention.
  • Support logistics documentation, including Bills of Lading and shipping records.
  • Support administrative aspects of financial processes, including invoice coordination and related documentation.
  • Assist in identifying opportunities to improve administrative and operational processes.
  • Coordinate office administration, supplies, and communication flow.
  • Provide administrative and operational support for special projects and evolving business needs.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary: $50,000–$70,000/year (based on experience).
  • Eligibility for annual performance bonus.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including employer-paid medical coverage, PTO, life insurance, disability coverage, voluntary dental and vision plans, and a 401(k) with employer match.
