Job description
Northwest Helicopters LLC is looking to hire a Google Apps Script & Business Systems Developer / Administrative Support team member. Are you a hands-on, detail-oriented problem solver who enjoys building practical systems, improving business workflows, and supporting a busy office team? If so, we may be the place you have been looking for.
This is a unique role that combines front office administrative support with the opportunity to take ownership of an in-progress Google Apps Script web application that is being built to support key company operations. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, able to gather requirements from staff, translate real-world operational needs into reliable software tools, and assist with day-to-day office responsibilities.

The internal web application is not yet live and will require continued development, testing, refinement, documentation, and support through rollout.
