Office jobs in Nanaimo, BC

ABOUT US

We are a group of locally owned and steadily growing companies in Nanaimo, specializing in insulation. But more than that, we are a team of real people who care about the work we do and the people we do it with.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality work, but just as important to us is the culture behind it. We are a close-knit, down-to-earth group that treats each other like family. We support each other, communicate openly, and celebrate wins (big and small) together.

As we grow and expand, we are looking for someone who is not only skilled, but also shares our values and vision; someone who's in it for the long haul and excited to grow with a small, ambitious team.

THE ROLE

We are looking for someone who thrives in a space where structure meets creativity. This role combines office administration, financial administration, and project coordination, with plenty of variety built in.

Project Coordination

• Coordinating scheduling between clients, estimators, production teams, and subcontractors

• Tracking project timelines, outstanding items, and required follow-ups
• Preparing and maintaining work orders, project documentation, updates, and organized records within Buildertrend

WHAT SETS YOU APART

• 2+ years of experience in an office administrator role

• Professional, friendly, and client-focused approach
• Clear, thoughtful communicator (both in writing and conversation)

HOW YOU WORK

• You enjoy keeping projects, schedules, and information organized

WHAT SETS US APART

• A consistent weekday schedule (Monday to Friday, 8:00–4:30)
• Pay that reflects your experience and the value you bring
• Group benefits after your probation period (we take care of our people)
• A culture of trust, not micromanagement (you will have space to own your work)
• A chance to shape how we grow, not just follow along
• A supportive environment where learning is encouraged and growth is real
