Amanda L.
Virtual assistant with a strong background in construction
I am detail oriented, highly organized, and efficient bringing over 20 years of experience supporting multiple CEOs, COOs, construction managers, and project managers. My experience is not limited solely to administrative/assistant duties; I started my construction career as an assistant and have worked my way through project manager to operations manager to, ultimately, construction manager. I have worked remotely/solely from home for over 10 years (I have a complete/full home office with print/scan and camera capabilities if needed) and possess strong time management skills in addition to being a self starter. I have worked in both commercial and residential construction from new construction to renovation, rehab, and turn projects. Having worked both onsite and in the office, I offer a broad, and valuable, range of understanding and experience. I'm highly motivated, goal oriented, driven, and ambitious. I am also extremely computer literate, type over 80 wpm, and am proficient (expert level) with a number of different computer programs and software ranging from all Microsoft Office programs (including Excel), Quickbooks, Adobe, Adaptive, Dropbox, PPW, Pictometry, remote server software such as Right Networks and Team Viewer, BuilderTrend, Procore, Asana, Slack, and much more. Aside from the necessary administrative skills needed to work remotely, I'm also an excellent communicator, both verbal and written, which is imperative when speaking with contractors/subs, clients, and vendors. I also have great negotiation skills and am very resourceful; if I'm not familiar with or experienced in something, I am a quick learner and easily self taught with research - there is nothing I cannot do if provided with the tools to learn! I have a number of national and local vendors that I remain in contact with that I can bring on board to help you save money on equipment rentals and material purchases, as well. I pride myself on creating and maintaining great relationships with my vendors. Whatever you need: accounts receivable, accounts payable, account reconciliation, payroll, scheduling, travel arrangements, bids/proposals, RFIs, RFPs, submittals, site specific safety plans, work orders, change orders, invoices, pay apps/A1A billing, permitting, equipment rentals, material purchases, correspondence with clients/vendors/contractors (directly or through platforms such as Procore, BuilderTrend, PPW, etc.), property management, project management, vendor relationships, clerical, data entry, social media managemement/engagement, and beyond. Whether your needs are as simple as data entry and document creation or as complicated as completing and submitting pay apps to GC's or banks for your monthly draws, I can absolutely do it all. And though my background is in construction, I am more than open to any industry my particular skill set would be of use, so please don't hesitate to utilize my services simply because you're not in the construction field! These qualities, and so much more, combined with my extensive experience managing the operation of two separate companies, which included managing the office, while simultaneously supporting all company CEOs, COOs, construction managers, and project managers make me an asset to any company. My ability to anticipate my employer's needs makes me the perfect choice for your company's needs. Personally, I'm an animal lover who is deeply passionate about animal welfare (and both my canine and equine "babies"), a Muay Thai fighter of 20+ years, basketball fan, and motorcycle rider/lover.
