Job Overview:

**Position Description

**

Part-time key position focusing on customer service, phone screening and quote coordination, accounting, billing/invoicing, filing/organization, and office management directly supporting the General Manager and staff. We are looking for more than a task-executor — we want someone who genuinely enjoys being the face of the office, takes pride in helping a small company run smoothly, and sees opportunity in growing alongside the business. If you are the kind of person who naturally spots a better way to do something and quietly makes it happen, you will thrive here.

**Primary Responsibilities

**

**Office & Job Coordination

**

  • Screen incoming calls professionally; learn FSM’s service lingo and customer types.

  • Capture detailed notes from customer inquiries and prepare organized quote summaries.

  • Reduce disruptions to the General Manager’s workflow by triaging calls independently.

  • Work within FSM’s quoting software to make basic updates (contact details, attachments, etc.).

  • Schedule and coordinate courier services for outgoing shipments.

**Customer Service

**

  • Greet customers and visitors professionally.

  • Prep quote requests; coordinate with the General Manager on follow-ups.

**Accounting

**

  • Generate and send customer invoices in a timely manner; print and prepare packing slips.

  • Accounts Payable: Enter and manage vendor bills; review upcoming payments against receivables.

  • Accounts Receivable: Process and deposit incoming payments; follow up on aging balances.

  • Process payroll; maintain employee time, vacation, and sick records; assist with workers’ comp.

  • Process credit card payments and perform regular bank and credit card reconciliations.

  • Maintain accurate financial records and support basic reporting needs.

**Filing, Organization & Office Upkeep (Critical)

**

  • Maintain completed job filing cabinet; scan and digitally archive completed project documentation.

  • Perform regular, consistent office cleaning and workplace organization.

  • Maintain and file shop floor paperwork on a regular, ongoing basis.

**Purchasing & Cost Reduction

**

  • Maintain office product and shop supply inventory with the team.

  • Actively assist with cost reduction efforts — research and identify better pricing on shop supplies.

  • Schedule and coordinate miscellaneous services (scrap/waste removal, repairs, etc.).

**Who We’re Looking For

**

Beyond the technical skills, we are looking for the right fit for our team and culture. FSM is a small, tight-knit manufacturing company. The right candidate will feel at home in that environment — and want to help it grow.

**Customer-Facing Presence

**

  • Warm, professional, and genuinely friendly — you will be the first impression for customers and visitors.

  • Positive, can-do attitude that reflects well on the company in every interaction.

  • Able to communicate clearly and professionally with a wide range of people.

**Small Business Heart

**

  • Motivated by the idea of being a true right-hand to leadership and having a meaningful impact on the company’s success.

  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats and adapting as the company’s needs evolve.

  • Invested in the long term — we’re looking for someone who wants to call this place home, with the opportunity to grow as we grow.

  • Takes genuine pride in keeping things running smoothly, even in the background.

  • Naturally looks for smarter, more efficient ways to do things — and follows through on improving them.

  • Comfortable developing or refining internal processes without waiting to be asked.

  • Proactively identifies gaps and cost reduction ideas and takes initiative to work on them.
