Administrative Assistant / Assistant Project Manager

About Us
Ryan Construction has been building in Truckee, the Tahoe Basin, Reno and Carson City since 1979. We’re a licensed California and Nevada specialty contractor with four divisions: commercial finish carpentry and millwork, cabinets and doors, residential and commercial Site Services, and estimating. Our crews are known for fine craftsmanship. We need someone in the office who makes sure the paperwork, schedules and communication keep up with them.

The Role
This is a hybrid position. Roughly half of it is office administration that keeps the company running. The other half is supporting our project managers on active jobs, from contract to closeout. It’s a good fit for someone organized and proactive who wants to grow into a full Project Manager role. We’ll train the right person.
