Clerical/Admin - Administrative Assistant

Administrative SpecialistAdministrative Specialists provide administrative, technical, program, and/or office support work for assigned agency operations. Primary work includes assisting an administrative or technical supervisor in ensuring efficient and effective operations by carrying out various support activities such as composing official correspondence, drafting and distributing communications, coordinating workflow, resolving issues or complaints, or assisting with research, special projects or data/information management. Agency operations supported include administrative services such as budgeting, accounting, purchasing, contracting, payroll, or human resources; or other agency-specific programs, services, or technical functions. Employees apply knowledge and understanding of the assigned agency's operations, programs, services, or functions, as well as relevant laws, rules, regulations, standards, policies, and procedures. Work requires the regular use of office equipment, automated information systems, and computer software. Depending on the assignment, work may require an employee to serve as a Notary Public or assist staff in preparing documentation for audits or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Positions primarily performing general office support duties such as processing information by entering, modifying, updating, deleting, retrieving, and reporting on data, providing customer service, and responding to basic inquiries are considered for allocation to the Office Associate class series, rather than this series. Administrative Specialists may perform some of this work as an adjunct to higher-level administrative duties.
