Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a Business Assistant who will help systemize subcontractor management and speed up the process of preparing estimates for clients. This is not a purely administrative role — we need someone who can be part of the operations team, understands the construction/remodeling environment, and can act fast.

Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain a database of subcontractors: search (via Facebook groups, Telegram, job boards), collect and update contacts.
- Request and manage estimates from subcontractors; ensure replies within 24 hours.
- Compare offers and provide at least 2−3 pricing options per project.
- Assist with preparing preliminary estimates for clients.
- Research and purchase materials: find best market prices, request discounts from suppliers.
- Support new directions (roofing, siding, gutters): search subcontractors, assist with licensing, help with first orders.
- Handle small client requests (scheduling measurements, confirming details).
- Perform general administrative support tasks online: communication with suppliers and subcontractors, occasional payment coordination.

Requirements
- Strong understanding of construction/remodeling processes (fencing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.). is required. Candidates without construction experience will not be considered.
- Previous experience as an assistant or administrator (preferred, but not required).
- Good English and Russian skills for communication with subcontractors and suppliers.
- Strong research and organizational skills; ability to work with spreadsheets (Google Sheets/Excel).
- Detail-oriented and able to handle multiple tasks at once.

What We Offer
- Remote work (online).
- Payment in USD (through convenient international transfer options).
- Growth opportunity: from Assistant to Project Manager in construction.
- Work schedule 7:00 — 16:00 Chicago time (CST).
