What are the responsibilities and job description for the Office Administrator position at Northstar Summit?
Office Administrator
Company: AdvantaServ
Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho
Position Type: Full-Time
Join a Growing Local Company
AdvantaServ is a locally owned HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service company serving homeowners and businesses throughout Eastern Idaho. We are not a franchise. We are building a strong local company by combining quality craftsmanship, exceptional customer service, modern technology, and a team that takes pride in doing things the right way.
We are looking for an experienced and highly capable Office Administrator to become a central part of our daily operations.
Although the position carries a streamlined title, this is a broad and important role with significant responsibility in four primary areas:
- Customer Service & Customer Communication
- Dispatching & Technician Scheduling
- Operational & Financial Oversight
- ServiceTitan Administration & Ownership
As the company continues to grow, we expect to add additional office staff who will absorb and specialize in portions of these responsibilities. The person hired today will have an opportunity to help build our systems, support future team members, and potentially grow into a more specialized or leadership-focused position.
Position Overview
The Office Administrator is the operational hub connecting our customers, technicians, management team, and financial processes.
This person will manage the customer experience from the first phone call through job completion and payment. They will coordinate technician schedules, maintain accurate job records, oversee purchase orders and job costs, monitor accounts receivable, and help ensure completed work is properly documented, billed, profitable, and collected.
This is not a traditional receptionist position. It requires someone who can balance customer service, field coordination, administrative organization, technology, and financial accountability in a fast-moving service environment.
The right person will be organized, dependable, comfortable with technology, confident communicating with customers, and capable of managing multiple priorities without losing attention to detail.
Primary Responsibilities
Customer Service
- Answer incoming phone calls, emails, and online service requests promptly and professionally.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for new and existing customers.

ServiceTitan Administration & Ownership

Previous ServiceTitan experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right person who learns software quickly and is committed to becoming our in-house expert.
Operational & Financial Oversight
The Office Administrator will provide meaningful operational and financial oversight at the job level. This is not a bookkeeping or accounts payable position, but it does require confidence working with invoices, purchase orders, job costs, profitability, accounts receivable, and collections.

- Verify that discounts, credits, adjustments, and write-offs are properly authorized and documented.
- Support management with reports related to revenue, open jobs, outstanding estimates, job costs, and profitability.
