About Conklin Metal Industries Some companies chase trends. We've spent over 152 years building something steadier: a business our customers trust and our people stay at for the long haul. Founded in 1874 and still family owned and operated today in our fourth generation, Conklin Metal Industries is a leading distributor of sheet metal, HVAC, duct fabrication, and mechanical pipe insulation supplies across the Southeast.

From our 17 branch locations, we supply sheet metal contractors, mechanical contractors, duct fabricators, residential and multi-family new construction contractors, and HVAC service and replacement contractors with everything they need to build and install a commercial or residential duct system, and we stock the widest selection of sheet metal forming machinery in the region. Behind that longevity is a simple formula: hire good people, treat them well, and let them build a career here.

About the Role Our Atlanta North branch is growing, and we're looking for an Administrative Support Specialist who wants to grow with it. This isn't a role where you'll do the same five things on repeat every day. You'll be the organizational backbone of the branch: the person the Branch Manager, the Warehouse Manager, and the Shipping Manager can hand something to and trust it'll get done right, on time, and without having to check in twice.

One day you might be reconciling expense reports or processing a purchase order. The next, you're coordinating a vendor repair on a piece of fleet equipment, helping an associate through open enrollment, or pulling together the details for a branch event. It's real variety, but it all runs through the same through line: precision, follow-through, and being someone people can count on.

If you're the kind of person who keeps a tidy inbox, double-checks your own work before anyone asks you to, and genuinely likes being the dependable center of a busy operation, this role was built for you. And because the branch is still growing, this job is not static. It will evolve, and so will your responsibilities, which means there's real room here to expand what you own over time.
