NOW HIRING · EVANSTON & THE NORTH SHORE
Executive Assistant/Project Coordinator
Owner support, field coordination & remodeling operations
- $18/hour and up, depending on experience
- Part-time to full-time
- Evanston & the North Shore
About the role
You’ll work directly with Rick, the owner, so he can focus on customers, sales, estimating, and running the business.
It’s not a desk-only job. Some days mean organizing estimates and follow-ups; other days mean jobsite visits, photos, material pickups, meeting a subcontractor, or running an errand. The goal is a trusted right-hand person to the owner.
This is an entry-level position, and we’re willing to train the right person. It’s a good fit for someone with a background in construction, the trades, a warehouse, or home improvement who wants to move toward project management.
What you’ll do
- Help Rick with his schedule, priorities, tasks, and follow-ups
- Track appointments, projects, deadlines, and open items
- Visit jobsites to check progress and workmanship
- Take jobsite photos and give project updates
- Help with estimates, measurements, project notes, and pricing info
- Follow up with subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers, and help coordinate subcontractor schedules
- Pick up and deliver materials, fixtures, supplies, samples, and documents
- Meet subcontractors or vendors at jobsites
- Coordinate appointments and meetings, and join homeowner and subcontractor walkthroughs
- Run business errands
- Organize project info, receipts, paperwork, and documentation
- Keep multiple projects organized and moving
- Help solve day-to-day issues on active projects without constant direction
- Communicate professionally with everyone
- Keep the owner updated
- Take on more as the role grows
Who we’re looking for
- Extremely dependable and organized
- Comfortable on active jobsites and with customers
- Comfortable talking with homeowners, subcontractors, and vendors
- Comfortable with shifting priorities
- Self-motivated and able to work independently
- A problem-solver who takes initiative
- Willing to learn and take feedback
- Detail-oriented, with good notes for estimates
- Comfortable with phone, email, text, calendars, and basic computer programs
- Interested in a long-term career and growing with Hammell Homes
Construction experience is a plus, not required.
Requirements
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Able to travel between jobsites in Evanston and the North Shore
- Able to pick up, carry, and transport materials
- Professional appearance and communication around customers
- Reliable and punctual
- Able to keep company, customer, and owner information confidential
Pay and schedule
$18/hour and up, depending on experience. The role starts part-time and can grow to full-time.
