A New England Electrician/Electrical Contractor is looking for a reliable remote assistant to help with customer communication and basic office support for a busy electrical contractor.

This person will help monitor incoming calls, texts, and emails; respond to customer questions using approved wording; collect basic job details; follow up with customers when more information is needed; and help keep the owner/team organized.

The ideal candidate: Speaks and writes clear, professional English Can work during Eastern Time business hours Is comfortable making and receiving phone calls Can follow instructions and use approved scripts/templates Has strong attention to detail Does not overpromise to customers Knows when to escalate questions to the owner or field team Can stay organized without constant supervision Has experience with contractors, home service businesses, dispatching, customer service, or admin support Preferred availability is Monday through Friday during normal Eastern Time business hours.
