• Assist with general office and administrative duties as needed
• Help support other departments as business needs require

• Comfortable working with computers, including Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and basic data entry
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to multitask while maintaining accuracy
• Basic math and problem-solving skills

Saturday shifts are rotated among the Scale Attendants to provide coverage while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
