The Receptionist role at Applied Control is a part-time position, scheduled Monday through Friday, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This position plays a critical role as the first point of contact for the company, providing exceptional customer service by handling incoming calls, greeting and directing visitors, and managing mail operations. The Receptionist supports the broader Administrative Support Team by performing varied clerical duties such as data entry, filing, preparing mailings, scheduling conference rooms, and assisting with special projects, presentations, and training events.

This role requires a professional and polished communication style, particularly in managing the company’s switchboard and directing inquiries accurately to various departments. The Receptionist also manages the Pacific Team Up calendar, coordinates Fitness Center orientations, and maintains the company’s welcome board to ensure a smooth and welcoming experience for both employees and visitors. Attention to detail and organizational skills are essential, as the position involves sorting mail, ensuring office equipment maintenance, restocking supplies, and coordinating deliveries of promotional materials and other company items.

Given the hybrid nature of office and occasional onsite presence, the Receptionist may need to visit other areas of the company’s facilities, including the shop, and assist with setting up workstations for new employees. The role also involves light physical tasks such as lifting moderate-weight boxes and performing daily cleaning and organizing duties in communal spaces like the kitchen and conference rooms.

Candidates should anticipate an hourly wage ranging from $21.00 to $26.00, depending on experience and qualifications. Most individuals with less than five years of experience will start between $21.00 and $23.00 per hour. Additionally, employees in this position are eligible for overtime pay and an annual profit-sharing award. Applied Control supports employees in taking ownership of their careers and provides opportunities for ongoing development in a fast-paced, technology-driven industry.

This position is ideal for individuals who possess strong customer service skills, excellent organizational abilities, and a proactive attitude. The Receptionist must be capable of working independently as well as part of a team, demonstrating reliability, a positive work ethic, and the flexibility to meet varied demands and occasional extended hours. Overall, this role is instrumental in ensuring smooth administrative operations and contributing to a productive workplace environment at Applied Control.
