Job description

Keep projects moving. Solve problems. Connect the dots.

We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Project Administrator who enjoys keeping things on track and making sure the right information gets to the right people. In this role, you’ll support Project Managers, internal teams, and customers by managing job data, supporting budgets and invoicing, coordinating information, and maintaining accurate customer orders.

You’ll play an important role in keeping project information accurate and projects moving forward. This means more than simply entering and maintaining data—you’ll be expected to look closely at the information, recognize when something doesn’t look right, research the issue, identify the root cause, and take action to help resolve it. You’ll also support job setup, budgeting, invoicing, reporting, and customer order management.

This Role May Be for You If…

• You naturally notice when something doesn’t look right and want to understand why.
• You enjoy digging into data, researching discrepancies, and finding the root cause of an issue rather than simply passing it along.
• You’re proactive about identifying potential problems before they become bigger issues.
• You’re highly organized and can manage multiple projects, deadlines, and competing priorities without losing sight of accuracy.
• You enjoy working with different teams and connecting the dots between information, people, and processes.
• You take pride in providing accurate, timely information that helps others make good decisions and keep projects moving.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn the business, work across multiple areas of manufacturing, and make a real impact behind the scenes. If you’re organized, analytical, curious, and someone who doesn’t just spot problems but takes initiative to figure them out, this role may be for you.
