Binners Inc. – Toronto / GTA
Full-Time | In-Office
About Binners
Binners is a growing construction services company specializing in demolition, disposal bin rental, construction labour and waste removal throughout the GTA and Ontario.
Since 2018, we have grown into a team of approximately 50 people by building our reputation around one simple promise:
Binners is Reliable.
As we enter our next stage of growth, we are looking for an experienced
Office Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day management of our office and administrative functions.
This is an important leadership position within Binners.
The Role
We are looking for a mature, confident and highly organized Office Manager who knows how to run an office, manage administrative employees, deal professionally with customers and keep people accountable.
This is
not an entry-level administrative position.
We want someone with significant professional experience who is comfortable taking ownership, making decisions and following through without requiring constant direction from the owners.
The right person will have the energy to work in a fast-moving construction environment combined with the experience and judgment to command respect from employees, customers and suppliers.
You will work closely with Binners' CEO and COO and become the primary person responsible for ensuring that the administrative side of the company runs effectively.
Key Responsibilities
Office & Administrative Management
Take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the Binners office.
Manage and support administrative employees and ensure responsibilities, deadlines and recurring tasks are completed.
Establish clear administrative processes, responsibilities and accountability.
Identify administrative problems before they reach ownership and take responsibility for getting them resolved.
Maintain an organized, professional and productive office environment.
Create and maintain company procedures, checklists and SOPs.
Coordinate communication between Sales, Operations, Accounting and Administration.
Team Management & Accountability
Provide day-to-day leadership to office and administrative employees.
Set expectations and follow up to ensure commitments are completed.
Address performance or accountability issues professionally and directly.
Help establish stronger routines, processes and standards across the office.
Be comfortable having difficult conversations when necessary.
Become someone employees can go to for answers and direction rather than escalating routine issues to ownership.
Customer & Vendor Communication
Handle escalated customer situations professionally and confidently.
Communicate with customers regarding administrative, billing, documentation or service issues when required.
Be comfortable speaking with project managers, contractors, suppliers and senior customer contacts.
Protect Binners' relationships while also protecting the company's interests.
Ensure important customer issues receive proper follow-up and do not fall through the cracks.
Accounts Receivable & Administrative Controls
Support the company's billing and collections processes.
Ensure overdue accounts receive appropriate follow-up and escalation.
Monitor administrative controls including customer documentation, credit information, purchase orders and required approvals.
Work with the accounting and collections team to ensure issues are identified early.
Escalate significant financial or customer risks to ownership.
People & HR Administration
Coordinate employee onboarding and offboarding.
Maintain employee documentation and administrative records.
Assist management with hiring coordination, interviews and employment documentation.
Manage vacation requests, office schedules and other administrative HR responsibilities.
Help maintain a professional and accountable workplace culture.
Management Support
The Office Manager's ultimate responsibility is to
create leverage for the owners and senior management team.
You Should Constantly Be Asking
"What is currently being handled by the owners that should be handled by me or the administrative team?"
You will help take administrative responsibilities, follow-ups and day-to-day problem solving away from senior management so they can focus on customers, operations, strategy and growing the company.
Who We're Looking For

- 10+ years of professional experience, preferably including office management, administration management or operations administration.

The Personality We're Looking For
This position requires a particular type of person.
You Should Be
Experienced and confident - people naturally trust your judgment.
Firm but fair - you can hold someone accountable without creating unnecessary conflict.
High energy - you still enjoy being busy and being at the centre of a growing company.
Organized - you don't allow things to disappear into emails or unfinished task lists.
Proactive - when you see something that needs to be handled, you handle it.
Professional - you're comfortable speaking with everyone from a new employee to the owner of a major customer.
Resilient - difficult customers, changing schedules and unexpected problems don't throw you off.

help build the management systems and administrative structure required for the next stage of the company.
