Office Manager – Construction Company

We’re a busy construction company looking for an experienced Office Manager to basically be the backbone of our office — handling the books, payroll, projects, and keeping everything running smoothly. This is a big, important role, and we’re looking for someone who knows construction, is super organized, and can juggle a lot without getting overwhelmed.

That said — we’re also a very laid-back, casual, no-drama kind of workplace. No corporate vibes, no micromanaging. We just want someone who’s dependable, knows their stuff, and wants to be part of a solid team where everyone pulls their weight and treats each other with respect.

What You’ll Be Doing

Money & Bookkeeping

  • Handle all bookkeeping in QuickBooks (construction experience is a big plus)
  • Run union construction payroll, including certified payroll and union benefits
  • Pay bills, code expenses, and keep job costs organized
  • Send out invoices, track payments, and follow up when needed
  • Reconcile bank and credit card accounts
  • Help keep things clean and ready for the CPA at month-end and year-end
Office & Admin

  • Keep the office running day-to-day
  • Answer phones, handle emails, and deal with general admin tasks
  • Keep files and paperwork organized (digital and paper)
  • Order supplies and work with vendors
  • Help with basic HR-type paperwork when needed
Projects & Contracts

  • Set up new jobs and keep project files organized
  • Track contracts, insurance, lien waivers, and compliance docs
  • Help project managers with admin support
  • Keep tabs on change orders and subcontractor paperwork
 

 

Property & Owner Support

  • Help manage commercial rental properties:
     
    • Tenant communication
  •  
    • Utilities
  •  
    • Rent tracking
  •  
  • Help with some of the owner’s personal property and finances:
     
    • Paying household bills
  •  
    • Utilities
  •  
What We’re Looking For

  • At least 3–5 years of experience in office management/bookkeeping (construction strongly preferred)
  • Union payroll experience is HIGHLY preferred
  • Solid QuickBooks skills
  • Comfortable handling AP, AR, reconciliations, and job costing
  • Super organized and good at staying on top of a lot of moving parts
  • Trustworthy and professional (you’ll be handling confidential info)
  • Able to work independently and not need a ton of hand-holding
Why This Job Is Actually Pretty Great

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Benefits Package (health, dental, vision)
  • Very relaxed, casual work environment
  • Small team, direct communication with ownership
  • You’ll have real responsibility and actually be appreciated for what you do
  • Stable, long-term position with a well-established company
If you know construction, know payroll, and want a job where you can just come in, do good work, and not deal with corporate nonsense, we’d love to talk to you.
