Your new company

Our client has been a leading specialty contractor in underground construction since 1980. They specialize in trenchless technology, tunnelling, directional drilling, geotechnical and environmental drilling, shoring, deep foundations, and more — delivering innovative solutions for complex infrastructure projects across Canada.

Your new role

As the first point of contact for our company, you will play a key role in creating a positive, professional impression for clients, vendors, employees, and visitors. This position combines front-desk reception duties with administrative support, including data entry and basic accounts payable processing, in a dynamic construction environment.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Minimum 1–2 years of experience in a receptionist, administrative, or office support role
  • Proven experience with data entry (high accuracy and attention to detail required)
  • Previous exposure to accounts payable processes or basic bookkeeping is strongly preferred
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) with a professional phone manner
  • Strong organizational and multitasking abilities in a busy environment
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook); experience with accounting software (e.g., Maestro, QuickBooks, Sage, or similar) is an asset
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently as well as part of a team
  • Experience in the construction or trades industry is an advantage but not required
  • Strong verbal and written communication in English is required; French is considered a strong asset

What you'll get in return

  • Competitive salary in the range of $50,000 – $60,000 based on experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, etc.)
  • Paid vacation, sick days, and opportunities for professional growth
  • Supportive team environment with a focus on safety and innovation
  • Stable, full-time position with a well-established company (over 40 years in business and 300+ employees)
