Rieley & Associates is an award-winning landscape architecture firm and has been in business 40 years. Our work includes the Poplar Forest Parkway and Thomas Jefferson Parkway; Towe, McIntire, and Walnut Creek parks; research projects for the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service; and historic gardens. We take great care in seeing our projects from design through construction to ensure that the reality matches our clients’ expectations as well as our own.
We are looking for administrative help. Currently there are three landscape architects who need help managing the details of projects – calendars, notes, minutes, correspondence, filing, presentations, etc. The managing partner also needs help with bookkeeping, including invoicing clients, tracking expenses, paying bills, and managing insurance needs. Thus, organizational skills are critical. We also need help with more creative and artistic tasks that do not require a degree in landscape architecture.
We are looking for a colleague with a positive attitude who is willing to pitch in. Since you will often be the first impression on clients (in person, on the phone, or through email), a friendly, positive, helpful attitude is also a must. This is an on-site position, and while we would prefer that you work full-time, flexible hours may be negotiated. Other benefits include health insurance, paid vacation, and sick leave. Salary commensurate with experience. Your compensation will increase as you learn and are able to take on more challenges and responsibilities. Full disclosure: one dog also comes to work every day. We see that as a benefit.
Our Expectations:
Positive Attitude/Willingness to Contribute to a Team Effort
Knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook
Organizational Skills
Ability to Multi-task
Strong Interpersonal Skills
Ability to Communicate Effectively
Must Love (or at least tolerate) Dogs
Ability or Willingness to Learn:
QuickBooks
WordPress Backend
Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
Microsoft PowerPoint
Historical Research Skills
