We're looking for a Sales & Operations Coordinator to be the backbone of our business development. You'll manage the quoting process, keep customers informed, produce reporting and analysis for leadership, and handle the operational details that let our project and sales teams focus on delivering great work.

• Produce daily and monthly operational reports on project status, pipeline, and key metrics
• Gather data from Project Management, Sales, and Operations teams
• Create PowerPoint presentations for leadership reviews on major projects, including scope, budget, timeline, and risk
• Identify trends and flag issues (delays, cost overruns, bottlenecks) for management attention

Project Cost Management

• Support project costing, compile labor, material, and overhead estimates for new projects
• Track actuals vs. estimates and flag significant variances
• Organize and maintain project documentation for audit and reference

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office — Excel (pivot tables, formulas), PowerPoint, and Word are comfortable tools for you
• Written communication — You write clear, professional emails and can adapt your tone for customers and internal teams
• Attention to accuracy — Numbers, dates, and details matter; you catch errors before they become problems
• Problem-solving mindset — You anticipate issues and find solutions, not just flag problems
