  • Support daily operations including inventory tracking, workflow coordination, and customer support
  • Partner with internal teams and external vendors to ensure timely and high-quality service delivery
  • Assist with scheduling, task prioritization, and operational execution
  • Handle customer communication including service inquiries, issue resolution, and follow-ups
  • Create and manage work orders, records, and operational documentation
  • Monitor outstanding accounts and assist with follow-up as needed
  • Participate in safety practices and process improvement initiatives
  • Help ensure smooth, efficient day-to-day operations across the site

  • Financial awareness (billing, tracking, and cost management)
  • Leadership, communication, and decision-making

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience)
  • 0–2 years of experience (internships or customer-facing roles a plus)
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Strong communication and customer service mindset
  • Self-starter with a desire to grow into leadership
  • Comfortable working in both office and active, on-site environments
  • Open to travel and/or relocation for career advancement

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Clear path to Operations Manager and leadership roles
  • Hands-on training across multiple areas of the business
  • High visibility with leadership and real responsibility early on
  • Strong culture of promotion from within
  • Opportunity to build a well-rounded operational skill set

Who This Is Perfect For

Someone who:

  • Wants to grow into a leadership role
  • Enjoys problem-solving and being hands-on
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
