Project & Proposal Administration: Support project managers with proposal preparation, project reporting including field and laboratory data, and participation in project review meetings.
Field and Office Support: Work with the project managers, scheduler of field work, and field staff to support project and staff needs. Assist with implementation and ongoing compliance, including tracking field reports for client distribution. Support the Office Principal and other Office leaders with office-specific needs.
Meetings, Events & Training Coordination: Provide support by producing meeting agendas and minutes; assist with planning and coordinating meetings, events, safety, and required training; and help coordinate new-hire onboarding.

What We're Looking For:

High school diploma or GED
- Associate's degree in Business or Accounting, a plus
Minimum of 5 years of experience in a relevant field
- Construction, engineering, or consulting firm experience, a plus
Intermediate to advanced computer literacy, including proficiency with CRM, ERP systems, Metafield or data entry programs, and Microsoft Office Suite
Notary Public Certification, or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire

Why Join Us?

You'll receive professional training, mentorship, and support to work on challenging projects and be part of a company that truly invests in its people. Every employee benefits from our employee-ownership program, no matter your role. This is more than a job; it's a chance to build a long-term career in the engineering and construction industry.
