Executive Assistant

ABOUT HEDRICK BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION

Founded in 1979, Hedrick Brothers Construction (HBC) is a family-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, with offices in Winter Park, Stuart, and Miami. For more than 47 years, we have built projects throughout Florida in hospitality, multifamily, industrial, healthcare, and public-sector markets.

Our work is guided by our GRIT values—Growth, Resourcefulness, Integrity, and Teamwork—and a culture built on doing right by our people, trade partners, and clients.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Executive Assistant provides high-level administrative and organizational support to the COO of Hedrick Brothers Construction, across both HBC and Hedrick Brothers Development (HBD). This is a full-time, in-office role covering business operations, project coordination, and personal and property logistics. It requires exceptional discretion, sound judgment, and the ability to anticipate needs and manage priorities independently in a fast-paced environment. 

The right candidate has prior experience supporting a C-suite executive, understands the professional boundaries that accompany that kind of access, and remains even-keeled under pressure. This is not a fixed 8-5, task-list role — it requires someone who owns the calendar and the relationship, not just the to-do list.
