• Excellent computer skills - you’ll need a strong background in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word.
• Experience doing a people-centric job like customer service. This role supports the whole business, so we need you to have a friendly, outgoing personality when answering the phone, and be excited about talking to and supporting co-workers.
• Experience in an administrative / bookkeeping role. This position is all about the details - you take great pride in your work, take initiative, and understand that even the smallest tasks contribute to the success of the entire company. And these qualities :
• You’re a fantastic communicator, with natural empathy and optimism
• You have terrific organizational skills and follow-through, and a dedication to excellence and accuracy

Working at Timm Enterprises

This is a full-time permanent position, working out of our open-concept office in a beautiful setting outside of Milton. You’ll work Monday to Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm, with some flexibility in days / hours in our off-seasons (summer and winter) if desired. Our location is conveniently located, but you will need your own reliable transportation to get here every day. We are offering a starting wage of $23 - $26 per hour, as well as a benefit package. We’re also a dog friendly office – in fact, we have our very own office dog, so you need to be comfortable around canines. We’re an independent, family-owned business with a long track record of success. We’ve been in business for 63 years, and plan to be around for many years to come. We want someone who is going to stay with us, and who will be an integral part of company success.
