Vanguard Maintenance and Electrical, Inc.
Plains, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/16/2026
We’re looking for a friendly, professional, and dependable Front Desk Receptionist to serve as the face of our office. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, answering phones, and helping keep the day running smoothly.

You’ll be the first person visitors see when they walk off the elevator, so a warm personality, strong communication skills, and a welcoming presence are important.

What You’ll Do

  • Greet visitors warmly and create a positive first impression
  • Answer and direct incoming phone calls professionally
  • Manage incoming mail and packages
  • Keep the front desk and common areas organized and welcoming
  • Assist with basic administrative tasks (Word documents, emails, light data entry)
  • Support the office team as needed throughout the day

What We’re Looking For

  • Friendly, outgoing, and professional demeanor
  • Comfortable interacting with visitors, employees, and vendors
  • Strong communication and people skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and organized
  • Basic computer skills (Microsoft Word, email, phone systems)
  • English required; Spanish is a plus

About The Role

  • Entry‑level position
  • No college degree required
  • Prior customer service, retail, hospitality, or front desk experience is helpful but not required
  • Well‑suited for someone who enjoys a people‑facing role and takes pride in being the first impression of the company
  • Opportunity to grow over time, though this is not a growth‑driven role

Compensation & Benefits

  • Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour (based on experience)
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
  • Paid sick time in accordance with New York State law

If you’re personable, professional, and enjoy working in a front‑desk environment, we’d love to meet you.
