Do you thrive in an environment where every day brings something different? Interstate Engineering is looking for an outgoing, motivated, and detail-oriented Administrative Assistant to join our Mandan office. We're looking for more than someone who can manage a calendar or answer the phone. We want someone who takes initiative, builds relationships, brings positive energy to the workplace, and sees opportunities to contribute without waiting to be asked. As an employee-owned company focused on growth, innovation, and serving communities, we value people who are excited to learn, take on new challenges, and grow alongside us.

Work alongside engineers, surveyors, planners, and other professionals to assist with documents, reports, contracts, and project-related administrative tasks. Take ownership. Anticipate needs, identify opportunities for improvement, and take initiative to help the office operate more efficiently. Bring people together. Help coordinate office activities, company events, meetings, and new employee onboarding. Stay on top of the details. Maintain records, process invoices and expenses, assist with document management, and support day-to-day office operations. Keep learning. Build new skills, collaborate with employees across our offices, and explore opportunities to grow within the company. What We’re Looking For The right person brings more than administrative experience. They bring the attitude, initiative, and willingness to contribute that make a great team even better. You’ll be a great fit if you: Are naturally welcoming, approachable, and comfortable starting conversations with others. Take initiative and look for solutions instead of waiting for direction. Enjoy helping others and take pride in being someone your teammates can count on. Can juggle multiple priorities, stay organized, and follow through on commitments. Communicate confidently and professionally, both in person and in writing. Are adaptable, open to feedback, and excited to learn new things. Have a growth mindset and see challenges as opportunities to improve. Enjoy working collaboratively but are also comfortable managing responsibilities independently.
