Our client, a division of the Government of Alberta, is seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to support a senior executive within a newly established provincial operations branch.
This is not a typical administrative role. The environment is high-volume, fast-moving, and will become increasingly reactive during peak operational periods. The successful candidate will be steady, proactive, detail-driven, and able to operate with urgency and discretion in a public-sector executive setting.
This is a 3-month contract with strong potential for extension. It is also onsite located in NW Edmonton.
