Job Description

Most electrical contractors run great jobs in the field and a disaster in the office. We're trying to fix that — and we need the right person to make it happen. Plesh Electric has been serving homeowners and businesses across Central New Jersey for 30 years. Generator installations, service upgrades, panel replacements, new construction electrical — we do it right, we do it clean, and we've built a reputation that brings customers back. Tony Plesh oversees every job personally because quality isn't negotiable. We're growing. By the end of 2026, we're targeting $5M in revenue with multiple crews running simultaneously. We already have the work. What we need is someone who can assist in running the office — and grow into something bigger as the company does. We're not hiring a receptionist. We're recruiting the person who becomes the operational backbone of a New Jersey electrical contractor on its way to becoming the best in the state. WHAT THIS JOB ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE Here's the honest version. The phone rings when you're in the middle of scheduling three jobs, following up on a generator estimate, and trying to figure out why an invoice didn't go through. You handle all of it — because that's the job. Nobody is going to hand you a prioritized to-do list every morning. You figure out what's most urgent and you work the list. Some days are completely normal. Other days, a permit gets kicked back, a crew needs to reschedule a job on two hours' notice, and a customer calls because their estimate was supposed to arrive yesterday. You don't panic. You fix it, you communicate, and you move on. This is a small company. That means you'll do things that are "above your pay grade" some days and things that feel below it on others. You'll work directly with the owner — Tony is hands-on, has high standards, and will notice everything, good and bad. There's no layer between you and the person whose name is on every truck. If you need a defined lane, a quiet desk, and someone to hand you tasks — this isn't the right fit. If you like being the person everything runs through and you take pride in keeping a business organized, keep reading. WHO BELONGS HERE Craftsmanship applies here, too. When we send an estimate to a customer, it should be right. When we file a permit application, it should be complete. Sloppy documentation is as much a reflection of the company as sloppy wiring. You set the same standard for your paperwork that our electricians set for their installations Professionalism is how you answer the phone at 8:00 am and how you respond to a frustrated customer who's been waiting three days. Professional and warm — not robotic, not rude, not flustered. Accountability here means if you said you'd follow up by the end of the day, you followed up by the end of the day. You don't wait to be chased. You don't let things fall off the list. Your word is your track record. Clean work, no shortcuts, means the filing system is actually used, the records are actually current, and the invoices are actually accurate. Not "pretty close." Accurate. PAY AND PATH Pay: $18–$25/hr based on experience | Full-time, on-site Where this goes: As Plesh Electric adds crews (we're planning 4–5 by 2028), this role grows. Office Manager. Operations Coordinator. More scope, more responsibility, more pay. That growth is already on the roadmap — it's not a vague promise. WHY PLESH ELECTRIC Direct access to the owner — you'll work closely with Tony and understand the whole business, not just your corner of it The company is actively growing — this is a ground-floor opportunity, not a lateral move Clear advancement path — the org chart that exists in 2028 has a bigger role in it for the person who performs in this seat Stable business with 30 years of reputation behind it — this isn't a startup Whitehouse Station, NJ — Central Jersey location, no city commute THE HIRING PROCESS Here's exactly what happens: You apply (5 minutes). If your background fits, we'll schedule a 15-minute phone call. We'll send a few written questions — reply by email, takes about 15 minutes. If we both want to keep going, you'll come in for a 45-minute interview with Tony. Final step: a 2-hour paid working session in the office, so you can see how we operate, and we can see how you work. If it's the right fit — welcome to the team. If you're still reading, you're the kind of detail-oriented person we're looking for in this role. Most people skim past the "honest version" section.
