Project Assistant Residential Remodel Construction

Seattleites are known for being environmentally conscious, unabashedly proud of their communities, and their desire for green practices, green buildings, and green businesses.  Mighty House Construction states that “any house can be a Mighty House” and believes sustainable building practices should be part of every building project! This full-service, general contracting company that has been in business for over 17 years, offers basic renovations to whole house remodels and additions with green building concepts and remodeling services for residents in the Greater Seattle area (typically Seattle City Limits with an emphasis on south of downtown to Burien and Tukwila). 

Do you notice the details when you enter a room?  Do you have a physical folder or Pinterest board that you keep updated with building and/or design ideas?  Are you naturally good at solving math problems? Finally, do you love working with dogs in the office?  We are seeking a talented Project Assistant to support the management of all administrative duties that contribute to the success of our remodeling projects. You may be a great fit if you are organized, excel in customer service, can calculate square footage, and can make decisions under pressure!  This is a part-time position (15-25 hours with a set schedule 3-4 days/week). After completion of the training process, a hybrid work schedule may be considered.
