Great Northern Builders, Inc.

Executive Assistant

Location: South Berwick, ME (Hybrid: in-owner's home or office and remote flexibility)

Build a career you're proud of, without unnecessary bureaucracy.

At Great Northern Builders, Inc., you'll find a respectful, organized environment and leaders who value integrity, teamwork, and accountability. We're an award-winning, woman-owned general contracting company serving the Seacoast of New Hampshire and Southern Maine, specializing in high-quality residential remodeling, additions, and custom builds.

We pride ourselves on being ethical, authentic, and deeply knowledgeable; a team that communicates clearly, works efficiently, and supports one another. We're currently seeking a Part-Time Executive Assistant to help our owner manage a mix of business and personal responsibilities with professionalism, discretion, and care. If you're organized, proactive, and thrive on variety, this flexible, hands-on role is a great opportunity to support a fast-paced, community-oriented company while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Our company operates with the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), ensuring structure, accountability, and growth opportunities at every level.

Our Core Values

Well-Built - Beyond industry standards; beautiful, lasting work.
Ethical - Grounded in integrity. Accountable in every action.
Authentic - Honest words. Consistent actions. Real relationships.
Positive Traction - Progress through challenges; momentum with purpose.
Deeply Knowledgeable - Craftsmanship rooted in skill, growth, and curiosity.

The Executive Assistant will support the company owner by managing a range of administrative, scheduling, and household management tasks. Some days you'll coordinate meetings and handle emails; other days, you'll research vendors, meet a tradesperson at the owner's home, run errands, or make travel arrangements. This is an ideal role for someone who's comfortable wearing many hats, enjoys organizing and problem-solving, and takes pride in handling details efficiently and discreetly.

Key Responsibilities

Manage owner's email correspondence and scheduling.
Coordinate appointments, meetings, and travel arrangements.
Meet service providers or tradespeople at the home or office as needed.
Research and coordinate household or business projects (e.g., sourcing contractors, scheduling repairs, purchasing gifts).
Be prepared to handle whatever needs to be handled that day to allow the owner to focus on running an award-winning business.
Maintain confidentiality and discretion at all times.

Qualifications

Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented.
Must be proficient in Excel, Google Suite, and generally capable of working efficiently across multiple software platforms and learning new ones as needed.
Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
Self-motivated and able to work independently once briefed.
Comfortable handling both business and personal matters.
Flexible and adaptable to changing priorities.
Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and access to a reliable vehicle.
Previous experience supporting a business owner or executive preferred.

Hours & Pay

Pay Range: $18 to $25 per hour, depending on experience
Benefits: This is a part-time role; benefits are not offered
Job Type: Part-time, Hybrid
Schedule: 10-20 hours per week, with some flexibility in terms of specific hours worked
Work Setting: Hybrid (in owner's home or office in South Berwick, ME, and remote flexibility if performance standards are met)

Please note: GNB's office will be expanded in 2026/2027, but right now we are a full house. So mostly, you would work from the owner's home. You need to be comfortable working alone much of the time. You can come visit us at the office if you're lonely -- we are only across the street -- but for the most part, you will be working on your own. Make sure you like this style of work. However, in a couple of years, we will have a bigger office, at which time the owner would like to have her Executive Assistant work with her at the office directly. Some flexibility is needed in this respect.

Why Work With Us

Join a company that values respect, communication, and trust. At Great Northern Builders, we build not only great homes, but great working relationships grounded in authenticity and care. If you're someone who takes initiative, thrives on variety, and enjoys keeping things organized, we'd love to hear from you.
