  • Maintain the master safety calendar : circulate invites, reminders, TEAMS links, and required prereads.
  • Track completion of safety sign-offs, corrective actions, and inspection findings, escalating overdue items as necessary.
  • Maintain CIMS documentation and the Crescent Owners Manual, ensuring all updates meet ISSA standards and are properly version-controlled.
  • Prepare compliance summaries and inspection reports for internal audits or external assessments.
  • Document & Data Management

  • Maintain and update job site records, SOPs, safety logs, inspection reports, labor trackers, and productivity data.
  • Compile and analyze field team reports, onboarding documentation, and performance metrics for leadership review.
  • Maintain equipment logs and warranty records : record serial numbers, service history, warranty expirations, and repairs.
  • Assist with union-related documentation—tracking grievances, clarifying duties under CBAs, maintaining disciplinary forms, and supporting timekeeping audits (ePay, OrangeQC).
  • Develop and maintain multilingual task cards for janitorial carts and other operational tools to standardize procedures and improve training efficiency.
  • Operations Coordination

  • Coordinate equipment deliveries, uniform orders, safety supplies, and onboarding kits to ensure new accounts and projects are fully supported.
  • Support site startup logistics : build and monitor project timelines, track critical milestones, and maintain communication between vendors, field managers, HR, Recruiting, and Sales. Schedule and confirm field visits, inspections, and quality assurance reviews, updating calendars and sending reminders.
  • Maintain job assignment control sheets, rebalance / reduce assignments as needed for absenteeism or reallocation of resources.
  • Provide logistical support for rebalancing projects, workload planning, and special assignments to ensure optimal staffing and productivity.
  • Communication & Internal Support

  • Serve as the primary liaison between the EVP’s office and field supervisors / project managers, ensuring consistent messaging and follow-through.
  • Draft and format internal announcements, memos, meeting summaries, and bilingual communications (English / Spanish) for distribution to staff.
  • Handle confidential matters (e.g., HR issues, disciplinary actions, or client-sensitive information) with discretion and professionalism.
  • Track and report on follow-ups from meetings, site visits, and inspections, providing leadership with weekly progress summaries.
  • Requirements

  • 2+ years of administrative experience, ideally in operations, facilities, janitorial, or field service industries.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, formulas, and basic data analysis).
  • Excellent Microsoft Word skills for formatting professional reports and operational documents.
  • Familiarity with or willingness to learn platforms such as OrangeQC, ePay, and vendor portals.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex operational data.
