  • Prepare and organize project documents and drawings (plot/print/scan) and maintain job folders and records.
  • Support reporting and meetings: collect weekly field expenses, coordinate monthly WIP meetings, and generate/distribute related reports.
  • Provide general office and administrative support (deliveries, front desk backup, meeting scheduling, onboarding assistance).
  • Assist with bid and service support tasks and respond to internal system/process requests (Textra, Autodesk Construction Cloud, etc.).
Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or administrative training preferred.
  • 2+ years administrative experience, ideally in construction, project administration, or a related environment.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel); comfortable learning new construction/project systems.
