  • Assisting with CRM entry, signed proposals, and sales-related documentation
  • Maintaining calendars, routing calls, and managing office supplies and systems
  • Tracking KPIs, project updates, and internal communications


You exemplify these traits:

  • Proactive Ownership – You solve problems before they happen
  • Organized Multitasker – You keep multiple workflows moving smoothly
  • Detail-Oriented Executor – You spot and fix issues before they cost time or money
  • Strong Communicator – You’re clear, direct, and great with people

  • Resilient Problem-Solver – You don’t make excuses—you make things work
  • Tenacious and Curious – You love improving processes and learning new tools


Requirements:

  • 4+ years in office or operations management (construction preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
  • Familiarity with BuilderTrend, Asana, or CRMs a plus


Compensation & Perks

  • $60,000–$75,000/year based on experience
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • Healthcare
  • Professional development and training
  • Stable, supportive, growth-focused work environment
