Position Overview
The Service Administrator is a versatile, detail-oriented team member who keeps the Commercial Service Plumbing Division running smoothly. This role supports the entire service department — stepping in wherever needed to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. From permitting and materials ordering to customer calls, billing assistance, and work order review, this person is a dependable problem-solver who uses good judgment, not just checklists. You will work closely with service coordinators, field technicians, project managers, and company leadership daily.

Primary Responsibilities

Answer inbound customer calls professionally, provide status updates, and follow up on open items and pending approvals
Review completed and in-progress work orders for accuracy — verifying labor hours, materials, job notes, and technician sign-offs before orders are closed
Prepare and submit permit applications to local municipalities; track status, coordinate inspections, and maintain permit logs through job completion
Process material and supply requests; place purchase orders with vendors, confirm pricing and delivery timelines, and coordinate job site deliveries
Support billing and invoicing by compiling job information, coordinating with accounting, and tracking outstanding items
Monitor open work orders and service tickets to identify and resolve items at risk of falling through the cracks
Maintain organized records, logs, and files to support department accountability and efficiency
Identify process gaps and proactively communicate them to leadership
Perform other duties as assigned to support overall department and company success

Work Schedule & Environment
Office-based, Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM. Occasional extended hours may be required during peak service periods — we will always give you as much notice as possible. This is a highly collaborative role with daily interaction across field technicians, coordinators, managers, customers, and vendors. No two days look exactly the same.

Proficiencies & Qualifications

2–4 years of administrative or operations experience, ideally in trades, construction, or service industry
Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel)
Strong verbal and written communication skills — comfortable with customers, vendors, and inspectors
A “fill-the-gap” mindset — able to identify what needs to be done and take ownership without waiting to be told
Sage Field Operations experience a plus — we will train the right candidate
Prior experience with permitting, billing support, or job cost tracking preferred
