Our vertically integrated operations, customer-focused culture, and investment in people and technology make ERMCO the Most Valued Partner for delivering resilient, sustainable power infrastructure for the future. 

As our Engineering & Office Administrator, you’ll wear two hats: one as the operational pillar for our fast-moving product development team, and another as the guardian of the everyday rhythm of our Raleigh office. You’ll orchestrate logistics, maintain the workspace, and empower our people so that nothing slows down progress from receiving a shipment to booking travel, keeping supplies stocked to supporting accounting processes. Your work will ensure the team stays on track and the office stays energized.  The ERMCO-GridBridge team operates in an open, collaborative, and flexible environment to achieve the most effective use of all team members’ contributions.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee day-to-day office functions: ensure equipment, supplies, facilities, and shared spaces support a high-performing work environment.
• Serve as onsite point of contact for facilities and service providers: coordinate maintenance, repairs, clean-up, and any vendor/contractor scheduling.
• Support the Engineering/Product Development team: manage purchasing, receiving and shipping of materials, components, and lab resources.
• Assist our Accounting/AP team: process invoices, track payments, match credit card receipts, prepare expense submissions.
• Order and maintain office/kitchen/bathroom stock: anticipate needs so the team never runs without.
• Maintain accurate electronic filing systems and databases: ensure records are orderly, accessible, and up to date.
• Book travel (flights, hotels) and logistics for team members as needed.
• Prepare and process payroll-related tasks: collect and distribute timesheets, maintain timesheet data entry, manage monthly credit-card reconciliation.
• Support project-cost tracking: enter data into project lists, monitor spending trends, help team stay within budget.
• Lead “other duties as needed”: this is a dynamic role in a flexible environment so you’ll often spot what needs doing and dive in.

What You’ll Bring

• Proficiency with Microsoft 365, cloud-based apps, VPN access and general comfort with tech and administrative systems.
• Demonstrated experience in office administration, purchasing, shipping/receiving, and some accounting or AP support of at least 2 years.
• Strong organizational skills: you can manage multiple priorities, set your own rhythm, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills: you’ll interface with colleagues, leadership, visitors, contractors and vendors with equal ease.
• A self-motivated, independent mindset: you take initiative, anticipate needs rather than waiting to be told, and adapt when things shift.
• A keen eye for detail: accuracy in documentation, record-keeping, and expense tracking is non-negotiable.
• Problem-solving skills: when something unexpected comes up, you jump in, find a solution, and keep operations moving.
• A strong sense of responsibility, integrity and workplace ethics: you understand that you help keep the entire team’s foundation solid.
• Preferred: an Associate’s degree (or equivalent industry experience) and familiarity with an ERP/MRP system in a product-development or manufacturing environment.
