Marketing & Project Operations Assistant (Construction)
About the Role
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and self-sufficient Marketing & Project Operations Assistant to support the owner across two core areas: light marketing and social media, and project coordination in Buildertrend. This is a part-time remote role starting at 15 to 20 hours per week, with real potential to grow toward full-time as the relationship develops.
The most important qualities for this role are reliability, strong verbal and written communication, and a high level of attention to detail. This role keeps a lot of moving parts organized — from social media posts and email newsletters to client selections, permits, and project schedules. The right person runs with tasks independently without needing a lot of hand-holding, and takes pride in keeping everything accurate and on track.
Key Responsibilities
Marketing & Social Media — Light Support
The marketing side of this role is straightforward — we need consistency, not complexity.
- Schedule and publish social media content across active platforms, keeping the company's online presence active and consistent
- Assist with drafting and sending email newsletters to the client and prospect list
- Support light content creation and repurposing — helping turn project photos, testimonials, or updates into ready-to-post content
- Assist with event planning and promotion as part of the marketing strategy
- Monitor posting schedules and flag when content is needed to avoid gaps in the online presence
Project Coordination — Buildertrend
This is the heavier lift of the two responsibilities and where most hours will be spent.
- Manage client selections and procurement tracking in Buildertrend, keeping records current and organized
- Keep project schedules and daily logs updated in Buildertrend so the owner and team always have an accurate picture of where each project stands
- Update the client portal in Buildertrend with current information, documents, and status updates
- Track allowances across active projects and flag discrepancies or overages proactively
- Coordinate dumpster orders and track delivery and pickup logistics for active job sites
- Pull and track permits — submitting applications, following up on status, and ensuring permits are in hand before work that requires them begins
- Help gather and organize subcontractor and vendor quotes, keeping everything organized for easy comparison and decision-making
- Monitor outstanding items across active projects and proactively follow up to keep things moving
- Serve as an organized, reliable operational resource that keeps the owner on top of what needs attention
Qualifications
Required
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail — accuracy and follow-through are non-negotiable in this role
- Strong written communication skills — emails, client portal updates, and social content all need to reflect the professionalism of the brand
- Comfortable running tasks independently without waiting to be directed at every step
- Reliable and consistent — the owner needs to be able to count on you to get things done on time
- Familiarity with social media platforms and basic content scheduling tools
- Comfortable learning new software quickly — especially Buildertrend if not already familiar
Preferred
- Buildertrend experience — a significant advantage; candidates comfortable in Buildertrend will contribute from day one
- Prior experience in construction, remodeling, or a related trade industry
- Experience with client selections, procurement tracking, or allowance management in a remodeling or construction context
- Background in permit coordination and vendor/subcontractor quote management
- General marketing and social media experience — light content creation, scheduling, and email newsletter support
Growth Potential
This role starts part-time, but there is real potential for it to grow. If it is a strong fit and the workload supports it, the owner is open to
