About the Job
CalTex Cashflow LLC is hiring an experienced Construction Administrator to take ownership of our construction office's administrative operations.

You'll be responsible for keeping our administrative operations organized, accurate, and on schedule while supporting our project coordinators with material purchasing, vendor research, city permit filings, and project documentation.
This is not an entry-level position. We need someone with practical construction office experience who can manage responsibilities independently, recognize issues before they become problems, and follow through until the job is done.
