Administrative Support SpecialistConklin Metal Industries – Atlanta North Branch6875 Best Friend Rd, Ste 100, Doraville, GA 30340On-Site | Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–4:00/4:30 PM | $24–$28/hour, based on experienceAbout Conklin Metal IndustriesSome companies chase trends. We've spent over 152 years building something steadier: a business our customers trust and our people stay at for the long haul. Founded in 1874 and still family owned and operated today in our fourth generation, Conklin Metal Industries is a leading distributor of sheet metal, HVAC, duct fabrication, and mechanical pipe insulation supplies across the Southeast. From our 17 branch locations, we supply sheet metal contractors, mechanical contractors, duct fabricators, residential and multi-family new construction contractors, and HVAC service and replacement contractors with everything they need to build and install a commercial or residential duct system, and we stock the widest selection of sheet metal forming machinery in the region. Behind that longevity is a simple formula: hire good people, treat them well, and let them build a career here.About the RoleOur 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 DoPurchasing & ReplenishmentManage branch-managed replenishment and purchase orders, keeping the branch stocked and operations running without interruptionSupport inventory tracking and purchasing of branch suppliesExpense Reconciliation & ReportingReconcile and report branch expenses accurately and on schedule, giving branch leadership a clear, trustworthy view of the numbersAdministrative & Clerical SupportServe as a first point of contact for administrative inquiries by email and other channels on behalf of the branchMaintain organized digital and paper filing systems, including structuring electronic data storage (e.g., Teams folders), so information is easy to find when it's neededCarry out directives from the Branch Manager and provide administrative support to the Warehouse and Shipping ManagersHR & Onboarding SupportGuide associates through HR-related functions such as annual enrollment and training with patience and claritySupport onboarding and training initiatives for new branch employees, helping them feel set up for success from day oneEvent Planning & ExecutionPlan and execute branch events, handling the logistics so the team can just show up and enjoy themVendor CoordinationOwn vendor communications for service and repairs, including building, machinery, fleet, and trailers, keeping projects moving and relationships strongSales & Order Support (Limited)Provide basic backup sales support as needed; this is a limited part of the role rather than a primary responsibilityAssist 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 ForWe're looking for someone who brings genuine steadiness to a role with a lot of moving parts, someone organized enough to keep a dozen threads straight, patient enough to walk an associate through a benefits question without rushing them, and personable enough to build real relationships with vendors and coworkers alike.
