Job Description
Great news - United Trades of America is looking for a sharp Project Support Specialist to join our Meridian, Mississippi team! You'll be right in the thick of project action, keeping things organized, on time, and well-documented.
In this role, you'll track change orders, RFIs, submittals and schedules, manage logs and flow sheets, and lend a hand with monthly billing and reports. You'll handle day-to-day office tasks: filing, correspondence logs, meeting schedules, photos, and data entry to keep every document exactly where it should be. You'll maintain all those critical procedures and manuals, update our filing systems, and make sure our library is well stocked with current information.
If juggling deadlines sounds like fun, we want to hear from you. You'll also price material vouchers, keep tabs on certified payroll and compliance forms, get quotes, and order materials. Creating and updating material flow sheets and archiving project documents will be a regular part of your week, along with prepping reports and PowerPoint decks to keep our leadership in the loop.
Who fits the bill? Someone with an associate's degree (or higher) in business or construction management, at least a year or two of experience in project or document control, and a head for details. If you're comfortable with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Projects, Suretrack, and maybe even Oracle or SharePoint, you're off to a great start. Being able to read blueprints and understand materials is a huge plus. You should bring strong administrative skills, a knack for organizing mountains of information, and the ability to communicate clearly and work smoothly with people at all levels.
The work environment is comfortable - mostly indoors, with typical office tasks and the occasional need to lift up to 40 pounds. There's little or no travel, so you can stay close to home.
We believe in paying fairly: our hourly rate ranges from $20-$22 depending on experience. This full‑time position is local to Meridian, Mississippi, and we're proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer. If you're a self‑starter who likes to stay on top of every detail and keep a project humming, let's talk by texting 317-534-7975 Project Assistant
