Why You'll Love This Role: We're seeking a candidate with eagle eyes and a microscope mind: someone who can spot a misplaced comma from outer space and organize chaos into color-coded perfection. Join our Alarms team as an Operations Administrator where you'll process, catalog, manage and disseminate reports, proposals, and other documentation to internal stakeholders, customers and reviewing authorities. You’ll have the opportunity to identify ways to improve efficiency and become an expert in how we parse and visualize our information.

If you find joy in the details and satisfaction in creating order from chaos, this entry-level role might be your perfect launchpad.

What You'll Do:

  • Data Management: Craft, process and organize reports and reporting systems for our inspection, testing and service teams
  • Systems Expert: Leverage your existing GSuite knowledge to build proficiency on the Google Drive platform and in our construction software (Viewpoint/Spectrum)
  • Detail Guru: Find zen in a perfectly designed spreadsheet and organize information with the precision of a library cataloger and the creativity of an interior designer
  • Collaboration: Work alongside a close-knit team to manage daily operations, including fielding incoming service calls, while continually brainstorming ways to improve process efficiency
  • Professional Growth: Embrace opportunities to learn, grow, and take on additional responsibilities

What We’re Looking For:

  • Education: High School Diploma or GED
  • Experience: 2+ years of administrative-level experience
  • Technical Skills: Intermediate to expert level with Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional eye for detail with the ability to spot discrepancies and capacity to maintain accuracy in repetitive tasks
  • Process-driven: Affinity for developing and maintaining standardized and multi-step processes including rigorous follow-up
  • Organized: Ability to prioritize tasks effectively, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines consistently
  • Industry Experience: Experience in the construction industry or commercial fire alarm tenant improvements is a plus but not required
  • Availability: Full-time availability (40 hours per week, 7am start time)
  • Compliance: Willing to pass a pre-employment drug test, background check, and reference check

Ideal Candidate Attributes:

  • Continually seeks ways to improve efficiencies
  • Desire to grow and willingness to learn
  • Positive attitude and professional demeanor including good judgment and honesty
  • Enjoys a fast-paced environment while maintaining organization and operational rigor
  • Takes initiative and can operate with minimal guidance
  • Trains teammates and openly shares knowledge and experience
  • Customer-centric: goes the extra mile to get the job done correctly
