Job description

Join a team of passionate construction professionals who take pride in delivering exceptional projects and building lasting relationships. At W. L. Butler, we’re dedicated to Building What Matters — for our clients, our communities, and our team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and trusted Executive Assistant to the CEO who thrives in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment. This role is critical to the success of the CEO and the broader organization, providing high‑level administrative, logistical, and project support with discretion, precision, and adaptability.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with exceptional attention to detail, strong judgment, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. You’ll manage complex calendars, coordinate travel and events, handle sensitive communications, and serve as a key partner to the CEO in keeping priorities on track.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Provide comprehensive administrative support to a dynamic CEO, managing daily priorities and long‑term projects with minimal direction

Own and manage the CEO’s complex, frequently changing calendar — including scheduling, prioritization, reminders, and conflict resolution

Coordinate business travel, creating detailed itineraries and ensure all logistics and documentation are in place

Maintain digital and physical files, records, and contacts with high accuracy and confidentiality

Draft professional correspondence and personal communications on behalf of the CEO

Review voicemail messages and act on items when appropriate

Process mail, invoices, and expenses; partner with the CFO on payments and monthly reconciliations

Coordinate and support events, including guest lists, invitations, vendors, and on‑site logistics

Manage and track client and relationship gifts

Troubleshoot basic technology issues across devices (iPhone, iPad, computer, Teams, Zoom)

Assist with errands and personal tasks

Serve as backup to the Office Manager as needed

You bring calm and clarity when plans change quickly

You anticipate needs, solve problems early, and close loops without repeated reminders

You’re warm, polished, and confident working with people at all levels

You can accept direct feedback without taking it personally — and use it to improve systems

You protect confidentiality and represent the CEO and company with professionalism

QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years supporting a senior executive

Exceptional organization, judgment, and attention to detail

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Teams, Zoom, Canva, and CRM software

Strong problem‑solving skills with a solution‑oriented mindset

Ability to collaborate effectively with others on tasks and projects

Demonstrates respect toward all individuals, regardless of role or level

Represents the CEO and the company with professionalism, discretion, and integrity
