Executive Assistant

PDC Electric LLC
Tacoma, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/26/2026

We're a fast-moving electrical contracting company, and we need a right-hand person who can keep up. This isn't a sit-and-wait kind of role. We’re looking for someone to catch what falls through the cracks before it hits the floor. A self-starter who can read a room, figure out what needs to happen, and make it happen without being told twice. You'll be embedded in the daily engine of the business, supporting financial operations, keeping the back office tight, and making sure leadership is focused on clients and jobs – not chasing paperwork. If you have a knack for creating order without being asked and thrive in times of change, keep reading.


This role could be a good fit if you:


  • Don’t wait for a manual when you can find the answer yourself. You might frequently say "I figured it out,” or “I took care of it.”
  • You move fast and don’t leave loose ends.
  • You know how to navigate strong personalities without losing your own.
  • You’re energized by being at the center of the operation, not overwhelmed by it. You like being the person who knows everything that’s going on.

–   Exceptional organizational skills, ability to notice when things are sliding before anyone else does

–   Proven ability to work independently in an ambiguous environment and make smart judgment calls without a playbook
