Customer Service. Inside Sales. Growth. Team.
Ace Handyman Services Fox Valley is growing, and we are looking for the right person to join our team.
We are not looking to simply fill a seat. We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of our business, our customers’ experience, and our future growth.
This is not a traditional receptionist or administrative role.
This is a customer-facing, phone-based, inside sales and client care position for someone who enjoys helping people, building trust, solving problems, following up, and converting opportunities into booked work.
The right person will be energized by responsibility, accountability, customer conversations, and being part of a small business where their work truly matters.
This is an in-office position located in Elgin, Illinois. Candidates living within approximately 5–10 miles of our office are strongly preferred.

We operate as a team. We care about our customers, our Craftsmen, our office, and the business we are building together.
