Job description

We are looking for a highly organized Office Administrator & Data Entry Specialist to serve as the "Input Hub" of our company.

You will have two main objectives:

1. Data Integrity: You will take the chaos of the field (receipts, logs, invoices) and turn it into clean, accurate data in our systems.
2. Office Order: You will ensure our physical office is professional, welcoming, and runs without a hitch.

This role is perfect for someone who finds satisfaction in a perfectly balanced spreadsheet, an organized filing cabinet, and a job site receipt that is filed exactly where it belongs.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Entry (The Precision Hat)

• Job Costing Input: Enter daily field receipts and invoices into JobTread (our project management software). You are the first line of defense against messy data.
• PO Matching: Verify that every incoming vendor bill matches the Purchase Order created by the Project Coordinator. If it doesn't match, you flag it.
• Time & Labor: Assist in digitizing timecards and daily logs from the field crews to ensure labor hours are tracked to the correct project phase.
• Vendor Compliance: Ensure all new vendors have current W-9s and Certificates of Insurance (COI) on file before data entry begins.

2. Office Administration (The Service Hat)

• Reception: Serve as the first point of contact for anyone calling or visiting Prairie Barns. You set the tone of professionalism and trust.
• Mail & Logistics: Process incoming mail, manage shipping for office supplies, and route documents to the right department immediately.
• Facility Care: Keep the reception area, conference room, and supply closet immaculate and fully stocked.
• Filing Systems: Maintain our digital and physical filing systems so that any document can be found within 2 minutes.

The Standards You Will Be Held To

• Zero Backlog: Data entry (receipts/bills) is processed within 24 hours of receipt. We do not let paper pile up.
• Accuracy First: You double-check your work. We measure performance by a low error rate in data entry.
• "We've Got You": When a client calls, they feel heard, and their message is relayed to the right person instantly.
• System Discipline: You follow the written procedure every time. If the procedure is broken, you help us fix the system.

Qualifications

• Experience: 2+ years in an administrative or data entry role. Construction experience is strongly preferred.
• Tech Savvy: You must be comfortable with software. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel/Word) is required. Experience with JobTread or QuickBooks is highly preferred.
• Traits: You are detail-oriented to a fault. You prefer a quiet day of organizing files over a chaotic day of putting out fires. You are trustworthy with sensitive company data.

Why Join Us?

• Stability: We are a growing company with a clear vision and strong financial health.
• Clarity: You will have a clear Position Agreement and know exactly what winning looks like.
• Respect: We value the "back office" as the engine that keeps the field running.
