TriStar Electric, a growing electrical contracting company, is looking for a motivated, highly organized, and energetic Office Assistant to help keep our operations running smoothly.

Whether you’re just starting your career or ready to take your first step into the trade or business world, this is a great opportunity to grow with a company that values your ideas, attitude, and potential.

What You'll Do

No two days are exactly the same! You’ll be the go-to person for keeping the office organized, helping our field crews, supporting customer communication, and managing key administrative tasks.

Your day-to-day will include:

Answering phone calls and speaking with customers in a clear, friendly, and professional manner

Greeting visitors and vendors with a welcoming attitude

Scheduling appointments and coordinating calendars

Organizing digital and paper files with strong attention to detail

Assisting with social media posts, light content creation, and online updates

Preparing basic documents, reports, and emails

Ordering office supplies and managing deliveries

Supporting project managers and field staff with admin tasks

Jumping in to help wherever needed—it’s a hands-on, team-based environment

What We’re Looking For

We’re not focused on your years of experience, we care more about your mindset, energy, and willingness to learn. That said, we do need someone who is highly organized, tech-savvy, and comfortable talking to people, especially on the phone.

Ideal traits and skills:

Excellent organizational skills, you love keeping things neat, labeled, and on track

Friendly and professional communication, especially over the phone with customers

Comfortable working with and around a busy team (both in the office and field)

Strong customer service mindset—you enjoy helping others and solving problems

Confidence using computers, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook), and email

Familiarity with social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, etc.)

Positive, team-focused attitude

High school diploma or equivalent required

Prior office/admin experience is a plus but not required—we’ll train the right person!

Team Culture Matters

We’re a close-knit team that values mutual respect, communication, and support. The right fit for this role is someone who works well with others, stays positive under pressure, and brings a great attitude to work every day. If you're dependable, easy to get along with, and like being part of a team where your contribution matters—you’ll fit right in.

Why Work With Us?

Great team culture, supportive, respectful, and down-to-earth

Real opportunity to learn and grow

Competitive pay

Paid time off and paid holidays (if full-time)

Simple IRA Match program where TriStar will match up to 3% of your annual income to your retirement account.

A chance to build useful skills in office management, communication, and customer service

How to Apply

Sound like a good fit? Send your resume and a brief cover letter/introduction in the body of the email to generators@tristarelectric.net. Be sure to include “Office Assistant Application” in the subject line, and a good contact number we can reach you at.

We're excited to meet someone who’s ready to jump in, stay organized, connect with customers, and grow with us—and who knows how to be a great teammate, too.

How our Process Works.

The way our application process works is to review your resume, and if everything looks good, then we will move to Step 2, which is a quick 5-to-10-minute phone call. On that call we will tell you a little about the company, make sure it is something you are interested in, answer any questions you have, and we may have a few questions for you. If everything sounds good there, we will get your information sent over for review to be moved to Step 3 where we will call you back or send a text to you to set up a time for an in-person interview. We will set a date and time for the interview and see you then. Once the interview is concluded, we will move to the final step, Step 4, where we will review all the candidates, make a decision, and follow up with a call within the next couple days or week, and let everyone know, either way, what direction we decided to go.
