Executive Assistant

ABOUT YOU

You’re an organized, proactive administrative professional who enjoys helping leaders and project teams stay focused and move work forward. You take ownership of details, follow through on commitments, communicate clearly, and know when to resolve a routine issue yourself or bring it to a leader’s attention. You’re comfortable balancing changing priorities and handling confidential information with discretion.

In this full-time role, you’ll provide administrative and operational support to an Division Manager and work closely with project teams and internal and external partners. Construction or project-administration experience is a plus.

• Prepare and format correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, weekly updates, proposals, bid instructions, timesheets, expense reports, and other business documents.

• Track action items, deadlines, approvals, and follow-ups; flag delays, missing information, or competing priorities to the appropriate leader.

• Support project managers with proposal and capabilities packages, project folders, administrative forms, and project setup, handoff, and closeout documentation.

• Maintain assigned project and regional trackers, records, and administrative calendars, including items related to licenses, renewals, insurance documents, and training.

NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS

• Ability to manage multiple assignments, adapt to changing priorities, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.

• Professional judgment and discretion when working with executives, project teams, vendors, customers, and confidential information.

• Willingness to learn company systems, which may include project, document-management, expense, or opportunity-tracking tools.
