Administrative Assistant Payroll Clerk

Job Description

Job Description

Albanelli Cement Contractors is looking for an organized, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant / Payroll Clerk who wants more than just a job—someone looking for a long-term home with a direct path.

While this position covers crucial day-to-day office operations, data entry, and basic bookkeeping, we are specifically looking for someone with an analytical mindset who wants to learn the inner workings of construction finance and grow with us. 

Why Albanelli Stands Out (Our Benefits)

We believe in taking care of our team completely. We offer a premier benefits package designed to provide true peace of mind:

• 100% Employer-Paid Health Insurance: Zero premium cost to you.
• 100% Employer-Paid HSA (Health Savings Account): Fully funded by the company.
• Paid Time Off (PTO): Generous time off to rest and recharge.
• Retirement & Profit Sharing: Build long-term wealth with company-backed profit sharing (upon eligibility).

The Mindset We Are Looking For

You aren't just looking to punch a clock; you take pride in the accuracy of your work and understand that smooth operations keep our crews moving in the field. You have a natural curiosity for numbers, a high level of discretion, and the ambition to look at data entry not as a repetitive task, but as the foundation for your future career in corporate finance and accounting.

Position Overview

The Administrative Assistant / Payroll Clerk provides essential clerical, payroll data entry, and operational support to ensure smooth and efficient daily office functions. In addition to handling core administrative tasks—such as preparing job quotes, assisting with project setup, and supporting HR—you will manage accounts payable and payroll data entry.

Key Responsibilities

Financial & Payroll Support

• Payroll Entry: Execute accurate, timely data entry for employee payroll (focused on data entry accuracy).
• Accounts Payable: Process, verify, and reconcile invoices and accounts payable records.
• Bookkeeping: Assist with basic bookkeeping, expense tracking, and data entry utilizing accounting software.

Project & Operational Support

• Project Setup & Estimates: Prepare, edit, and format professional job quotes and assist with initial project setups.
• Documentation: Maintain organized, secure physical and digital filing systems for project paperwork and corporate records.
• Office Operations: Monitor and order office supplies, maintain office equipment, and ensure a highly organized office environment.

Communication & HR Administration

• Office Presence: Greet and assist visitors, answer incoming calls, and manage general email and mail correspondence.
• HR Support: Assist with onboarding paperwork, employee recordkeeping, and confidential personnel file maintenance.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience as an administrative assistant, ideally within the construction or contracting industry, with practical exposure to basic accounting principles.
• Software Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook). Experience with Sage 100 or similar construction accounting/database software is welcomed.
• Core Skills: Strong basic math skills and an uncompromising attention to detail.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a professional, helpful demeanor.
• Time Management: Proven ability to prioritize tasks, meet tight deadlines, and pivot when project needs change.
• Confidentiality: A strong work ethic, high reliability, and absolute discretion regarding payroll and HR data.
• Education: High school diploma/GED; some college coursework in accounting or business administration is highly preferred.
