Job Summary:

We are in need of an Operations Specialist 1 to provide operational support for a new project and help ensure required activities and deliverables are completed accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with laboratory policies.

For an Operations Support Specialist 1 supporting a project in PIT INFRA at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the ideal candidate would need a combination of operational, administrative, project coordination, and business support skills rather than deep technical engineering expertise.
