Get In on the Ground Floor

Bliss Products and Services has been building playgrounds, shade structures and outdoor spaces for more than 40 years. Now we're building something new: a dedicated Military Sales & Construction division delivering projects on military installations across the U.S. and overseas.

That's where you come in.

This isn't a job where you squeeze your style into someone else's filing system, inherited procedures, or "that's how we've always done it." You'll help build the systems from the ground up. The trackers, the document control, the workflows, the way things get done. Your skills shape how this division runs.

You get the stability of a well-established company and the energy of a brand-new team. It's an exciting chance to bring your skills to life and put your mark on something from day one.

About You

Every day isn't the same, and you like it that way.

One minute you're reviewing certified payrolls. The next, you're checking a project schedule update. Then you're tracking down a missing submittal before it becomes a problem.

Can you manage yourself while managing multiple projects?

Is your calendar color-coded?

Do you organize your spices for fun?

You're structured, but adaptable. Independent, but collaborative. You don't need someone hovering. You know how to prioritize, pivot, and keep things moving.

You understand that in military construction and sales, details matter. Certified payrolls have to be right. Project manuals aren't optional reading. Schedules aren't suggestions.

You build systems that make complex work feel manageable, and you quietly fix things before they become emergencies.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building the division's systems from scratch: document control, trackers, templates, and workflows
• Supporting military construction and sales programs from pre-award through closeout
• Reviewing and tracking certified payroll submissions for compliance
• Managing and organizing project manuals, specifications, and contract documentation
• Assisting with project scheduling updates and milestone tracking
• Coordinating submittals, deliverables, and reporting requirements
• Supporting funding tracking, contract updates, and modifications
• Preparing status reports and leadership briefings
• Managing action items, risks, and compliance documentation
• Maintaining organized document control across multiple active projects
• Improving internal workflows when you see a better way to do things

What Makes You a Fit

• 3+ years supporting government or military construction projects
• Familiarity with certified payroll processing and compliance requirements (Davis-Bacon)
• Experience working with project manuals, specifications, and construction documentation
• Working knowledge of project schedules (Primavera, MS Project, or similar tools a plus)
• Strong attention to detail, especially when compliance matters
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Clear, professional communication skills
• Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and document management systems
• Ability to pass a background check and security screening for access to military installations
• Willingness to travel occasionally
• Bonus points for PMP, DAWIA, or an active security clearance

What You'll Get

• $80,000 – $95,000 salary, depending on experience
• Full benefits package
• A fully remote role, with preference for Hampton Roads-based candidates
• The chance to build a new division from the ground up, backed by a company with 40+ years in the industry
• Direct exposure to military construction and sales initiatives
• A leadership team that values initiative and accountability
• Flexibility paired with high standards
• Occasional travel to military installations and project sites
