Who We Are
Jersey Mechanical Contractors (JMC) is a full-service commercial mechanical contractor serving clients across New Jersey. With more than 40 years of experience, we deliver complex HVAC, plumbing, piping, and temperature control projects across commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational, medical, and pharmaceutical environments.

Job Summary
JMC is hiring a Construction Office Administrator / Project Coordinator to support the daily administrative, compliance, and coordination needs of the business.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing a wide range of office and construction-related administrative responsibilities. The right person will bring strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to keep many moving pieces organized across internal teams and external stakeholders.
This person will work closely alongside team members handling financial reporting and accounting functions, while taking ownership of many of the outward-facing administrative, documentation, compliance, and vendor-related responsibilities that help keep the business running smoothly.
This is not a pure accounting role and not a people-management role. It is a critical office-based position for someone who is strong in communication, follow-through, organization, and coordination.
Key Responsibilities
Coordinate and track certificates of insurance (COIs), insurance documentation, and related compliance requirements
Help maintain state registrations, certifications, annual filings, and other administrative compliance items required to keep the business in good standing
Support contract and subcontract administration, including document tracking, organization, and follow-up
Assist with prequalification packages, credit applications, and bonding-related paperwork
Maintain union-related documents, records, and other recurring administrative compliance items
Update and maintain labor rate information and other internal support materials used by the estimating team
Support general office operations, including vendor coordination, office equipment/service agreements, and administrative needs
Maintain company vehicle records, EZ Pass administration, and related documentation
Assist with accounts payable support tasks, including bill entry, payment coordination, recordkeeping, credit card / Amex administration, and monthly bill tracking
Help organize and maintain business records, files, and administrative documentation across multiple workflows
Coordinate professionally with outside vendors, insurance brokers, customers, general contractors, and other third parties
Provide administrative support to ownership and office leadership on special projects and day-to-day operational needs
Help ensure tasks are moving forward, deadlines are met, and important administrative details do not fall through the cracks
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in office administration, construction administration, project coordination, or business support roles
Prior experience in construction, mechanical contracting, subcontracting, or another project-based trade environment strongly preferred
Strong communication skills and confidence interacting with outside stakeholders, vendors, customers, and internal team members
Highly organized with strong follow-through and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once
Comfortable handling documentation, compliance items, and recurring administrative processes with accuracy and consistency
Professional, responsive, and service-oriented mindset
Able to work effectively in a team environment alongside accounting/finance and operations personnel
Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Word, Outlook, and document management
Able to maintain confidentiality and use sound judgment in a small-business office environment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with COIs, insurance renewals, prequalifications, bonding, or contractor compliance documentation
Familiarity with union paperwork, prevailing wage environments, or construction-related certifications
Experience supporting accounts payable, vendor coordination, or office financial administration
Prior experience in a commercial contractor, mechanical contractor, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or industrial services business
Why This Role Matters
This role is central to keeping JMC organized, responsive, and compliant. You’ll help ensure critical administrative and compliance responsibilities are handled well, external stakeholders are communicated with professionally, and the office runs smoothly across a wide range of moving parts.
For the right person, this is a long-term opportunity to become a trusted, highly visible contributor within a respected New Jersey mechanical contractor.
