COME BUILD THE TECH THAT KEEPS TRAFFIC MOVING
Transportation Control Systems (TCS) has been a family-owned company since 1976, and we design, build, and deliver the technology behind smarter, safer roads — traffic signal systems, controllers, detection systems, and intelligent transportation tech relied on by cities, state DOTs, and contractors across the Southeast.
Family-owned means a few real things around here: people know each other's names, good ideas don't get stuck in ten layers of bureaucracy, and everyone gets a three-day weekend — every single week. We take the quality of our work seriously and take ourselves a little less seriously.
THE ROLE
We're looking for a Receptionist & Accounts Payable Clerk to be the first voice people hear when they call TCS, and the person who makes sure our vendors get paid accurately and on time. If you're the kind of person who likes keeping a lot of plates spinning and gets real satisfaction when the numbers tie out, you'll fit right in. You'll split your day between the front desk and our accounting team, owning first impressions and keeping the accounts payable process running cleanly.
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
Few jobs here touch as much of the company as this one. You'll work with customers, vendors, the warehouse, sales, and accounting every day, and you'll see how the whole operation fits together, from the call that starts an order to the payment that closes it out. Because we're family-owned, you'll learn directly from the people who run the business, and your ideas for doing things better will actually get heard. And you'll do it Monday through Thursday, 10-hour days, with every Friday off.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
• A high school diploma or equivalent• Solid computer skills and comfort with Microsoft Office• A team-player mindset paired with a self-starter's drive• Sharp organizational skills, a genuine eye for detail, and pride in doing high-quality work• Clear, professional communication, both spoken and written• The ability to juggle a high volume of calls, invoices, and requests in a fast-paced office• A willingness to learn new skills and adapt as the office's needs change• Availability for our Monday–Thursday, 10-hour-day schedule
BONUS POINTS
• Experience with an ERP or MRP system• Hands-on experience with SAP Business One
THE PAY
• $19–$26 per hour, depending on experience
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
• A true 4-day workweek — real Fridays off, every week• 401(k) with company match• Health, dental, and vision coverage• Flexible Spending Account• Company-paid basic life insurance• Paid time off and paid holidays
