About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing construction and development firm known for bringing craftsmanship, creativity, and precision to every project — from commercial buildouts to large-scale property development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide direct administrative and operational support to the company’s two owners.

  • Track lien waivers, contracts, and other project documentation.
  • Support with accounting and data-entry tasks, including invoice tracking and spreadsheet management (in partnership with the company’s bookkeeper).
  • Take detailed meeting notes, follow up on action items, and keep key stakeholders informed.
  • Serve as a communication bridge between project managers, subcontractors, vendors, and office staff.
  • Help maintain an organized, upbeat office environment aligned with the company’s collaborative culture.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience supporting executives or leadership teams, ideally within construction, development, or real estate.
  • Strong organizational, multitasking, and communication skills.
  • Proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable managing spreadsheets and light accounting tasks (experience with QuickBooks or Excel a plus).
  • Reliable, trustworthy, and confident working on-site in a small, close-knit team.
  • Why You’ll Love It Here

    ✅ Entrepreneurial, family-owned environment with high visibility and impact

    ✅ Opportunity to grow with a company experiencing steady expansion

    ✅ Fast-moving, dynamic atmosphere — no two days are the same
