Our office is the hub of the business — coordinating field crews, clients, estimators, subcontractors, and vendors. We're looking for a sharp, dependable Receptionist / Administrative Assistant who can keep that hub running smoothly. Position Summary This is the front-line role for the company. You are the first voice clients hear, the gatekeeper to the owner's calendar, and the person who keeps records, payroll entries, estimate tracking, and vendor paperwork accurate and on time. The role demands strong problem-solving instincts, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle phones, walk-ins, and recurring administrative duties without dropping the ball. What You'll Do Front Desk & Communications (Daily) Answer and direct calls; check voicemail and route messages appropriately. Greet visitors at the door — screen first, then admit known guests. Field point of contact for crews and field employees throughout the day. Intake new client calls, triaging service work vs. remodeling and routing service requests to the Service Coordinator for scheduling. Calendar & Estimate Management (Daily) Manage the owner's calendar — add, edit, and remove appointments; balance estimate visits against in-office time, with two days per week reserved in-office to complete estimates. Confirm appointments with clients the day prior; verify names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails for accuracy. Schedule estimates strategically in one-hour blocks, accounting for travel distance between appointments so the owner's time is used effectively. Follow up on estimates the day after the site visit with a thank-you email, and continue weekly follow-ups thereafter; check back a week later to see if anything else is needed.
