The City of Carson is now accepting applications for the position of Administrative Specialist position.

This promotional opportunity is open only to current full-time employees of the City of Carson

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, highly organized communications professional to provide administrative support for Public Information Office division. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced public‑sector environment, values accuracy and transparency, and is comfortable balancing day‑to‑day operations with high‑visibility projects. Candidates should be adept at managing multiple projects, coordinating schedules, and supporting administrative workflows, including report preparation, budgeting assistance, and contract tracking.
