The person hired for this position will have the opportunity to work directly with company leadership and professionals across multiple departments while gaining hands-on experience in marketing, proposal development, business development, communications, and general business operations.

Work Environment & Schedule

This is a full-time, in-person position working 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, at Coneco's Bridgewater, Massachusetts office.

The position is primarily office-based; however, occasional local travel may be required for business purposes, including company events, meetings, marketing activities, or other business-related needs.

The duties and responsibilities described above represent the general nature of the position and are not intended to be an exhaustive list. As a small and collaborative company, responsibilities may evolve based on business needs and the employee's professional growth.
