Additional Information
Thermal Works LLC has an exciting opportunity for a Executive Assistant to join our team, working directly with Chief Operating Officer and focusing in the day-to-day administration of a rapidly growing operations function. The Executive Assistant serves as the COO's primary administrative partner, managing inbox triage, calendar, travel, correspondence, meeting preparation, and the steady flow of follow-up commitments that arise from working closely with directors, executive leadership, and external partners across multiple continents. This role exists because the COO's effectiveness depends on having a trusted partner who can absorb administrative throughput, maintain situational awareness across active threads, and ensure that nothing of consequence falls through the cracks. The Executive Assistant is the person the COO relies on to know what was promised, to whom, by when - and to make sure it happens. Thermal Works values efficiency and strives to maintain smooth operations. Our primary focus is on providing an integrated cooling system for data centers and commercial buildings that dramatically reduces the energy demand, water consumption and cost of cooling. It transforms the economics and eco-metrics of commercial cooling with zero water solutions that outperform air- and water-cooled systems in any climate. Thermal Works solutions are sustainable and cutting-edge. For that reason, we are highly selective about the people we bring on board because our work depends on it. Change and progress happen quickly, and we must be able to trust one another to be honest, communicative, reliable, and self-motivated. We seek ultra-creatives and superstar performers with a sense of humility and a hunger to make a positive impact in the world. We offer flexibility and endless growth opportunities to those who can harness their skills and talents and identify how and where to use them to add value. Thermal Works is one of several "inspired infrastructure" companies that work collaboratively under our parent company, Endeavour Energy, LLC. At the heart of this ecosystem is a diverse group of bright, passionate, dedicated people, working together to make a real difference for people and the planet. Thermal Works is looking for someone to join our team to help us move the needle towards sustainable change. Are you ready to join the journey?
