Project Administrator (Part-Time)

  • Part Time
  • Seattle

Our Seattle office, comprised of civil engineers, landscape architects and urban planners, is seeking a part-time (approximately 15-30 hours/week), experienced office administrative professional to be our Project Administrator in our downtown Seattle, WA office. This is a part-time, hybrid support role with opportunities for growth to a greater schedule with benefits in the future, if desired. The ideal schedule for this position would be Monday-Friday for 3-6 hours each afternoon, with attendance at a weekly Thursday mid-morning staff meeting. However, MIG is open to work with the right candidate to meet their availability. Some schedule flexibility may be required for staff engagement activities or to meet deadlines. MIG encourages a sustainable and healthy work-life balance, and these excess hours can be offset during the week when possible. MIG supports a hybrid work-from-home and in-office schedule, but some in-person work each week will be required for tasks, learning and team-building opportunities.
