About the Role

We're looking for a Project Assistant who can be a true swiss army knife — someone who thrives on variety and isn't afraid to wear a lot of hats. This is a unique opportunity to split your time supporting both our Residential and Commercial New Construction teams, giving you broad exposure across the business and a front-row seat to how projects come together from both sides. You'll work closely with Project Coordinators and Project Managers in each department, providing the administrative backbone that keeps jobs moving — from inspections and job packets to project documentation and day-to-day problem solving.

If you're organized, adaptable, and energized by a role that changes day to day, this is a great way to build a foundation in construction administration with a company that's growing fast and promotes from within.

Compensation:

• $22 - 25hr (Based on Experience)
• PTO + Sick Days + Paid Holidays
• Work From Home Flexibility + Flexible Hours

What You'll Do

• Receive inspection requests and coordinate with municipalities to schedule inspections for the Residential & Commercial teams
• Create job folders and packets — print plans and build job packets for Construction Coordinators to complete project takeoffs
• Track builder portals for required project documents (cabinet plans, appliance specs, spec books) to ensure the field has everything needed to complete projects
• Assist vendor delivery drivers with directions or access to jobsites as needed
• Take on miscellaneous projects and duties across the Residential & Commercial Department
• Provide a flexible, go-to resource for both departments as needs arise

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent required

• 1 year of office experience preferred (construction experience is not required — we'll teach you the trade side)

• Valid driver's license

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal

• A proactive, detail-oriented, "figure it out" mindset

• Comfortable multitasking and shifting priorities across two busy departments

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)

• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)

• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)

• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)

• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)

• Short Term & Long Term Disability

• Training & Development

• Work From Home

• Wellness Resources
