• Project Support:  Provide administrative support to management, including document preparation, file management (invoices, bills, receipts), and data entry.
• Office Operations:  Assist with incoming communications (phone, email, correspondence), maintain organized physical and digital filing systems, and contribute to an efficient office environment.

Qualifications:

• Language Skills: Full fluency in both English and Spanish (written and verbal) is required for effective communication with our diverse team and field crew.
• Software Proficiency: Strong command of MS Office Suite (with intermediate Excel experience for data tracking) and proficiency in QuickBooks Online.
• Inventory & Warehouse Familiarity: Practical experience working in a warehouse, stockroom, or material yard setting—specifically with physical inventory counting and tracking—is highly preferred.
• Experienced Professional:  Proven experience in an office administrative role, showcasing exceptional organizational skills, a high level of attention to detail, and a strong aptitude for learning new systems and workflows. Experience in a construction setting is highly preferred.
• Small Company Experience:  Prior experience working in smaller companies where cross-functional teamwork and versatility are required is highly desirable.
• Soft Skills & Teamwork:  Meticulous attention to detail, strong time-management habits, and the ability to work well within a collaborative team environment as well as independently.
• Customer Service:  Able to effectively and professionally communicate with contractors, homeowners, office staff, and field crew.

Physical Requirements:
