Job description

Front Desk Administrative Assistant

Redmond, OR
$24.00/hour
Monday-Friday | 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Join a growing company in the energy and utility services industry that values teamwork, accuracy, and exceptional customer service. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being the face of the office, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in keeping things organized and running smoothly.

We are seeking a professional and detail-oriented Front Desk Administrative Assistant to support daily office operations. This position combines reception duties, customer service, administrative support, and order entry responsibilities.

As the first point of contact for visitors, you will greet guests, direct them to the appropriate team member, and help maintain a welcoming and professional office environment. While the front desk is an important part of the role, the majority of your time will be spent supporting the team through administrative duties and order processing.

A primary responsibility of this position is order entry, which must be completed with a high degree of accuracy. While efficiency is important, accuracy is far more critical than speed. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to producing quality work.

The successful candidate should feel comfortable speaking up and asking questions. Many situations that arise are unique and may not be covered during initial training or in written procedures. The ability to recognize when clarification is needed and confidently seek guidance is essential for success in this role.

Strong multitasking skills are a must. This role requires monitoring multiple Microsoft Teams chats while processing orders and handling administrative responsibilities. The ability to manage interruptions, shift between tasks, and quickly pick up where you left off without sacrificing accuracy is critical.

Once training is complete and order processing has been mastered, there will be opportunities to learn additional accounting support functions, including entering bills for payment and contacting customers regarding payment status. Previous accounting, bookkeeping, accounts payable, or accounts receivable experience is helpful but not required.

Qualifications

• Excellent organizational and multitasking skills


• Comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification


• Professional communication and customer service skills


• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
