Job Description

Atwell is seeking a detail-oriented Administrative Assistant to support our Oil & Gas Engineering team.

• Organize technical content, scopes, fee information, resumes, project descriptions, and other materials within established templates.
• Format documents in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to create accurate, consistent, and professional client deliverables.
• Review documents for formatting consistency, completeness, grammar, and overall presentation quality.
• Coordinate with directors, senior leaders, project teams, and other contributors to gather required proposal information.
• Help manage proposal schedules, deadlines, document versions, and outstanding materials.
• Partner with Atwell’s Marketing team to locate and use approved templates, standard content, project information, and proposal resources.
• Maintain organized proposal files, templates, and supporting documentation.
• Assist with presentations, reports, spreadsheets, and other client-facing or internal documents.
• Provide limited administrative support for the Houston office, including ordering office supplies, snacks, beverages, and other materials.
• Assist with meetings, special projects, and other team needs as assigned.

What You’ll Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent required; an associate degree or additional education in business, administration, communications, or a related field is preferred.
• One to three years of administrative, proposal support, project coordination, document production, or related experience.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
• Strong document-formatting skills and an eye for layout, consistency, and professional presentation.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple requests and deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate work.
• Ability to work independently while coordinating with employees across different teams and locations.
• A dependable, flexible, and collaborative approach.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting proposals, qualifications packages, scopes of work, fee proposals, or other client-facing documents.
• Experience within engineering, architecture, construction, energy, oil and gas, professional services, or another technical environment.
• Familiarity with SharePoint, Adobe Acrobat, or document-management systems.
