Administrative Assistant

Creativity. Innovation. A desire to effect positive change. That's what it takes to work at Fuss & O'Neill because that's what we do for the communities in which we work: we create, innovate, and design long-lasting improvements that improve quality of life. Quality of life is also important on the job, so we've prioritized work-life balance by offering flexible/remote work opportunities, part-time benefits, and generous PTO. We believe that each day is an opportunity to support one another, to support our clients, and to support our communities. If you feel the same, then you've found your future. We're looking for a highly organized, proactive, and tech-savvy Administrative Assistant to play a key role in supporting our New Haven office. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoys serving as the organizational backbone of a dynamic engineering team. If you're energized by solving problems, juggling multiple priorities, and leveraging technology to improve efficiency, you'll find this role both rewarding and impactful. As a trusted partner to project managers, technical professionals, and business leaders, you'll do much more than manage administrative tasks. You'll help coordinate complex projects, prepare polished client deliverables, organize meetings and communications, manage schedules, and ensure critical deadlines are met. Your ability to anticipate needs, keep projects moving, and provide exceptional organizational support will directly contribute to the success of our teams and the clients we serve. If you're someone who enjoys taking ownership, continuously improving processes, and making a meaningful impact behind the scenes, we'd love to have you join the Fuss & O'Neill team.
