We're looking for someone who takes pride in how an office runs. Someone who notices what needs doing, takes ownership, and follows through. If you want a role where your contribution is visible and your judgment matters, this could be a good fit.
This one is for someone who wants to do more than work through a task list. Someone who keeps things organized, anticipates needs, and makes the day run more smoothly for the people around them.
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2011, EDGE Construction has built a strong reputation across Metro Vancouver as a quality general contractor and construction manager. With a team of over 70 and a focused portfolio of wood-frame multifamily residential projects, we have earned the trust of repeat clients through transparency, clear communication, and a consistent standard of professionalism and quality. That reputation did not happen by accident. It was built project by project, relationship by relationship.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for an Office Administrator to be a central point of coordination at our Vancouver office. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will work closely with management and support the team in a fast-moving, productive company.
You will be a go-to person for the everyday details that keep the office running—from welcoming guests and coordinating requests to organizing company events. It is an opportunity to build relationships across the business, understand how the company operates, and make a visible contribution every day.
We will provide onboarding and direction, but this is a role for someone who takes ownership. You notice what needs attention, organize your priorities, and follow through without repeated reminders. Initiative, sound judgment, and accountability matter here.
WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
- Creating a professional, welcoming experience for office guests and coordinating reception, phone calls, and general inquiries.
- Managing mail, deliveries, and courier arrangements, ensuring items reach the right people.
- Keeping the office organized, well supplied, and ready for a productive workday, including coordinating maintenance and upkeep.
- Managing shared calendars, boardroom bookings, and company vehicle bookings.
- Working closely with management and team members on day-to-day administrative needs, balancing requests and seeing tasks through to completion.
- Planning and coordinating company events throughout the year, bringing people together and keeping arrangements organized from start to finish.
- Anticipating needs, spotting issues early, and being resourceful—drawing on your experience and judgment to find practical solutions, overcome challenges, and improve how the office runs.
WHAT YOU BRING
Experience and Credentials
- Previous reception or office administration experience is an asset.
Skills and Attributes
- Friendly and professional, with excellent customer service skills.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and sound judgment when handling sensitive information.
- Initiative: You notice what needs attention and take appropriate action without waiting for repeated reminders.
- Ownership: You follow tasks through to completion, check your work, and take responsibility for the outcome.
- Accountability: You meet commitments, communicate progress, and raise issues early when something could affect quality or timing.
- Organization: You can prioritize competing requests, manage deadlines, and work independently after onboarding.
- A collaborative approach and genuine pride in supporting the team and maintaining a well-run office.
- Proficiency in MS Office, including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
WHY JOIN EDGE
- Work directly with the Controller in a role that supports the broader company.
- Make a visible contribution to how the office runs and how people experience EDGE.
- Help improve office routines rather than simply maintain them.
