Office Administrator
About Us

Comfort Temp Company is the parent company of CT Mechanical and Comfort Temp HVAC & Plumbing. Since 1985, our teams have supported commercial and residential customers across Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa.

Our Gainesville corporate office supports the people, systems, and operations that keep both companies moving forward. The Office Administrator plays an important role in that work by creating an organized, professional, and welcoming environment for employees, candidates, visitors, and business partners.
Job Summary

The Office Administrator is the central point of coordination for the Gainesville corporate office. This position supports Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and employees across both CT Mechanical and Comfort Temp HVAC & Plumbing.

While a significant portion of the daily workload supports Human Resources, this is a corporate shared-services position rather than an HR-only role. The Office Administrator manages front-office activities, coordinates meetings and events, supports employee onboarding and documentation, maintains office resources, and helps ensure information reaches the right people at the right time.

The ideal candidate is welcoming, organized, dependable, and comfortable managing several priorities while protecting confidential information. This role is well suited for someone who notices what needs to be done, communicates clearly, and takes pride in helping an office run smoothly.
