Trueline's client, a growing residential remodeling company with an established New Jersey presence and expanding showroom operations, is seeking a Design Administrative Assistant to join its team in Aberdeen and Red Bank, NJ. This is a great opportunity for an organized, customer-focused professional who brings strong administrative skills along with an eye for design and wants to support both the office and client-facing sides of a busy remodeling business.

• Schedule estimates, consultations, appointments, and customer follow-ups
• Maintain accurate customer and project information in the company's CRM
• Organize contracts, project files, selections, and other important documentation
• Help coordinate permits, vendor paperwork, and other project-related administrative tasks
• Support daily showroom operations and help create an organized, welcoming experience for customers
• Follow up with customers throughout the sales and pre-construction process
• Assist with design-related responsibilities when needed and shift into broader administrative support when design activity is lighter
• Help keep multiple projects, appointments, documents, and priorities moving at the same time
• Collaborate closely with the sales, design, office, and project teams

• Previous administrative, office coordination, customer service, or similar professional experience

• A strong eye for design and the ability to comfortably assist with design-oriented conversations and tasks
• Excellent organization and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A friendly, professional approach when working directly with homeowners
• Confidence using computers, email, scheduling tools, and standard office software
• Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing track of details or follow-up
• Dependability, initiative, and a willingness to jump between administrative and design support responsibilities
• Ability to work in and support operations across the Aberdeen and Red Bank locations

• Education, coursework, or professional experience in interior design
• Experience working in a kitchen and bath, remodeling, construction, architecture, furniture, flooring, cabinetry, or home design environment
• Previous experience supporting a sales or design team

• An opportunity to combine administrative strengths with an interest or background in interior design
• Exposure to residential remodeling projects and the opportunity to expand your design and industry knowledge
• A varied role where you can support customers, sales, design, and office operations rather than spending every day on the same tasks
• The chance to join a growing company as it expands its office and showroom presence
• A collaborative environment where organization, customer service, and design sense can make an immediate impact
• Training and hands-on exposure to the company's systems, projects, customers, and processes
