My awesome company is hiring.

Job 1: Operations Assistant. A sort of catch-all title for shipper/receiver/office maintenance/production/jack of all trades. The guy we have in here now (leaving because he got a massage therapist job) does all the shipping and receiving, bits of hazardous waste management, odd-job office handyman, light manufacturing (little glass sensing elements to be packaged), and etcetera. Not the most glamorous thing, I admit, but it's there. We're looking for somebody with high school ed, a year or two of relevant experience, some Office proficiency, and ability to lift fifty pounds. (It's always fifty on this sort of ad. I wonder if there's some sort of OSHA cutoff above that?)

Job 2: Information Systems and Security Specialist. Basically someone who can handle two office's worth of IT, computers and phones, and has particularly knowledge of information security, and DoD security clearance. (We're a government contractor. Whaddya want?) This person will reside in our Cambridge office, but be shared with a sister facility in Billerica, so car is probably desired. Cambridge is an all Windows XP office; dunno about Billerica. We're looking for someone with Bachelor's or equivalent, two to five years of experience, independent and motivated, and a US citizen with the DoD clearance. (Because mumble mumble secret mumble.)

Basic Data. Both of these positions are full time and offer vacation/medical/dental/401k/life/short and long term disability/tuition reimbursement/gym membership discounts/god knows what else. The vacation time is a little tight, but overall it's an awesome package for a office this small. As for the moneys, we tend to pay average market rates, and I'd have to leave it at that.

Corporate Culture, Meh. Yeah, we're a homeland defense government contractor. Yeah, we're part of the military-industrial complex. We're also laid back, quirky, friendly, tolerant, busy without being stressful, and generally awesome. It's honestly one of the most positive office environments I've ever been in, and I've seen quite a few after two years of temping.

And I don't even have to wibble about posting from work! This is essential advertising!

Email me if you're qualified for and interested in either of these positions, and I'll get you a full job description. And pass it on. I figure word of mouth amongst my friends might turn out a few more qualified and fun folks than Craigslist!
