Administrative Assistant - Pre-Construction (Remote)

Preconstruction Administrative Assistant

The Preconstruction Administrative Assistant (PCAA) provides administrative and documentation support to the Preconstruction Department as a whole, rather than being assigned to a single project. This role supports estimating, budgeting, proposal development, bid coordination, and internal preconstruction processes across multiple pursuits. Our projects are often in industrial and manufacturing environments, such as manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, chemical plants, distribution centers, warehouses, and other large commercial facilities. We are a self-performing specialty contractor specializing in design-build applications, HVAC systems, plumbing, process piping systems, boiler and chiller systems, equipment installation and rigging, plant relocation and maintenance, and metal fabrication.

The PCAA is vital to the successful achievement of Mullins Mechanical & Welding's mission, vision, and strategic initiatives.

Qualifications:

• Excellent organizational, documentation, and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
