Bid Admin Assistant II (Hybrid)

The Bid Admin Assistant II keeps Lakeshore's bid process running smoothly — on time, organized, and compliant. You'll support the preparation and submission of customer bids and contracts, working alongside Sales, Legal, Operations, and Customer Service to make sure every detail is in place.
