Operations & Project Assistant

WHY WORK HERE A

company that actually builds things We're not a corporate call center or a revolving-door staffing firm. We're a tight-knit, family-owned business where your work is visible every single day — in homes being built, in apartment communities going up across Colorado and beyond, and in the lighting and window covering products we design and bring to market under our own brands. You'll be surrounded by people who take pride in what they do and who rely on each other to get it done. There's no bureaucracy to wade through, no layers of management to navigate — just a team that's good at their jobs and wants one more good person alongside them. This is a place where a self-driven person can thrive. If you get satisfaction from figuring things out on your own, keeping multiple balls in the air, and ending every day knowing your work actually moved something forward — you'll fit right in.

WHO WE ARE

The Lighting Connection & Biggie Blinds Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Denver, CO, The Lighting Connection is a lighting and window covering manufacturer and distributor supplying large-scale home builders across the country. We develop and sell products under our own proprietary brands, supplying some of the region's largest single-family and multi-family residential builders. Biggie Blinds is our window coverings brand — offering builders a direct-source alternative that cuts out the middleman and delivers consistent quality on every project. Our projects are concentrated in Colorado but span multiple states, which means our team juggles a diverse mix of builders, timelines, and project types on any given day. We move fast, run lean, and hire people who can keep up.

THE ROLE

What you'll be doing This is a wide-ranging support role that touches operations, project coordination, purchasing, and warehouse. No two days are exactly the same, and that's by design. You'll work directly with our project manager, purchasing/AR coordinator, and warehouse team — but you won't be handed a script. You'll be expected to assess situations, figure out the right next step, and execute without needing someone to hold your hand through it. This role is not for someone who needs constant direction. Every person on our team carries a full plate. We need someone who sees a problem, owns it, and solves it — then moves on to the next one.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

Reviewing installer work orders in CompanyCam and verifying against install sheets; creating corresponding invoices in QuickBooks Confirming upcoming window covering installs with customers 2-3 days in advance Running weekly inventory-allocated-to-sales-orders (IATSO) reports and generating purchase orders for review Maintaining and updating vendor price lists (monthly/quarterly); adjusting pricing in Fishbowl inventory software Following up on accounts receivable — tracking open invoices and communicating with customers Building and maintaining project checklists to track submittals, deliveries, and install readiness Verifying accuracy of picked/pulled orders before they leave the warehouse Assisting with daily inventory counts alongside the warehouse team Supporting the project manager with out-of-state installer research and miscellaneous project tasks Occasional runs to job sites for deliveries or pick-ups as needed Helping keep our digital file folder structure organized and current

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Skills & qualifications The most important thing we're hiring for isn't on a resume. We need someone who is genuinely self-sufficient — someone who digs for answers before asking, figures out workarounds when the obvious path is blocked, and takes ownership of their work from start to finish. Everything else below can be learned. That mindset cannot. Proven ability to work independently and manage a varied task list with minimal supervision Natural problem-solver — you don't wait to be told what to do when something looks off Experience with QuickBooks (Desktop or Online) — required Comfortable learning inventory software (Fishbowl experience a plus, not required) Strong attention to detail — you catch mistakes before they become problems Good communicator — comfortable following up with customers and vendors by phone and email Bilingual - English and Spanish speaking strongly preferred, not required Able to shift priorities quickly without losing track of what's still open Physically able to assist in the warehouse when needed (lifting, verifying shipments) Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for occasional local site visits Prior experience in a construction, distribution, or trades-adjacent office environment is a strong plus If your work history shows you jumping between tasks, handling ambiguity, and figuring things out without a playbook — tell us about it. That's exactly what we're looking for.
