Administrative Assistant III - US

You would be working at a plant that belongs to one of the largest paper and packaging manufacturers in the world. They make corrugated boxes and packaging for food, beverage, retail, and industrial customers, and run production shifts around the clock. This is a front office role inside that plant, so you would be the person employees, drivers, visitors, and customers talk to first. The office is climate controlled and mostly sitting work, but the plant next door is a working, noisy production floor.
