TEPCON Construction (an ESOP company) is seeking a highly organized and proactive Executive Administrator to support our Chief Operating Officer (COO). This is a critical role responsible for maintaining operational alignment, driving accountability, and ensuring day-to-day priorities stay on track across the organization.

The Executive Administrator serves as a key partner to the COO, providing coordination, structure, and follow-through across multiple teams and priorities. This role plays an essential part in ensuring operational efficiency by managing details, tracking progress, and facilitating communication across departments.

Why TEPCON?

• Employee Ownership – Your leadership directly impacts ESOP share value and employee wealth.

This role may not be the best fit for individuals who:

• Prefer highly structured, predictable work environments
• Require frequent direction or oversight
• Are uncomfortable addressing accountability or follow-up conversations

Why This Role Matters:

This position plays a vital role in supporting the effectiveness of the COO and the broader organization. When executed well, this role enables stronger alignment, faster decision-making, and improved operational flow across all teams.
