Original job description
Receptionist / Office Coordinator Saber Power Services, a portfolio company of Veritas Capital, is a fully integrated electrical power system services firm providing end-to-end solutions across utility, renewables and battery storage, industrial, petrochemical, and other markets. Based in Houston, Texas, Saber Power offers deep subject matter expertise and uses an engineering-led approach to designing, installing, testing, and maintaining medium and high-voltage electrical infrastructure. Saber serves clients locally, nationally, and abroad. Position Summary No two days look exactly alike in this role. Most days, the Receptionist / Office Coordinator is the welcoming face of Saber Power Services - greeting visitors, answering calls, keeping the office stocked, and helping everything run smoothly. Some days call for coordinating travel for employees and candidates; others involve arranging catering, planning an office celebration, or solving an unexpected problem. This role is the foundation of a welcoming, organized, and professional office experience. The ideal candidate enjoys helping people, takes pride in details both visible and behind the scenes, and can shift comfortably between hospitality, administrative support, and hands-on office needs. The position requires independent ownership of routine responsibilities, positive influence across the organization, and sound judgment about when to seek supervisory guidance. Summary of Key Responsibilities Reception Desk & Employee Experience
- Welcome visitors, clients, candidates, and employees; create a friendly, professional first impression.
- Answer, screen, and direct incoming calls and inquiries promptly and courteously.
- Maintain an inviting, clean, organized reception area and support a positive office atmosphere, including seasonal and event decorations.
- Receive and distribute deliveries and packages; direct employees and visitors to the appropriate people or resources.
Office Operations & Supply Management
- Monitor, order, receive, move, and restock office and breakroom supplies across floors; anticipate needs and prevent shortages.
- Maintain orderly supply storage, shared spaces, conference rooms, and breakrooms; conduct routine inventory checks.
- Coordinate with vendors and suppliers on pricing, service, deliveries, and routine office needs.
- Troubleshoot routine printer, copier, and office equipment issues, including paper jams and supply replacement; arrange service when needed.
- Track supply usage and purchases, identify opportunities to standardize ordering, and submit accurate monthly office supply spending reports.
Administrative, Travel & Event Coordination
- Coordinate travel arrangements and related reimbursement requests for employees and job candidates, following established company procedures.
- Coordinate special office events, employee celebrations, and company activities, including logistics, catering, supplies, and vendor arrangements.
- Arrange catering and meeting logistics, maintain shared-space calendars, and prepare meeting materials as needed.
- Assist with new-hire office setup, including workspaces, supplies, and welcome arrangements.
- Provide general administrative support, including document management, correspondence, data entry, and preparation of presentations or reports.
- Coordinate recognition-related requests, such as flowers and deliveries, as needed.
Independent Judgment & Collaboration
- Take initiative to identify office needs, resolve routine issues, and follow through without constant direction.
- Build productive relationships with employees, leaders, and vendors; communicate expectations diplomatically and gain cooperation without formal authority.
- Balance competing requests, make decisions within established guidelines, and escalate sensitive, complex, or unresolved priorities to the direct supervisor when appropriate.
This list is not exhaustive; other job-related duties may be assigned as needed.
Required Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Strong customer-service orientation, clear communication skills, and the ability to interact confidently and professionally with people at all organizational levels.
- Demonstrated organizational ability, attention to detail, follow-through, and judgment when priorities change.
- Ability to use common office applications, including email, calendars, word processing, and spreadsheets.
- Comfort performing routine hands-on office equipment troubleshooting, such as clearing copier or printer jams and replacing consumables.
- Ability to lift and carry supplies weighing up to 30 pounds and move and restock items, including cases of beverages, throughout a multi-floor office environment, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in reception, hospitality, office coordination, administrative support, or a related service-oriented role.
- Experience coordinating travel, expense or reimbursement requests, catering, meetings, or office events.
- Experience working independently with multiple internal stakeholders and external vendors.
