Assist other administrative support staff by entering invoices and supporting documents into the payment system and routing them for required review and approval.
Maintain service contract records, track renewal dates and project timelines, follow up on vendor correspondence, and keep vendor and emergency contact lists current for all locations.
Assist with utility account records and municipal or regulatory permit applications by collecting documentation, submitting approved information, and tracking follow-up requirements.
Draft correspondence, maintain electronic files and departmental records, organize meetings, prepare and distribute minutes, and arrange travel or training logistics as required.

Communications & Facilities Helpdesk

Receive facilities calls and emails, clarify requests, and direct inquiries to the appropriate staff.
Monitor the Facilities email inbox throughout the workday, give priority to urgent messages, and immediately escalate emergencies to designated Facilities staff.
Enter facilities requests received by telephone or email into MaintainX and record the information needed for follow-up.
