Job description

SE Group is seeking a Project & Operations Coordinator to support our Communities Market Area. This is an exciting opportunity to join an industry-leading team that specializes in planning and design for communities that are shaped by a strong natural resource base, visitation and tourism, or access to recreation. If you are passionate about recreation and addressing rural communities’ most entrenched issues – we want to hear from you!

The Project & Operations Coordinator is the ‘glue’ of the team, keeping our work on track and our teams connected and informed. As such, we are looking for someone who is highly organized, a natural self-starter, and energized by developing systems that support others.

About SE Group

At SE Group, our work is grounded in the belief that outdoor recreation experiences are a powerful foundation for thriving communities. This belief is the driving force behind our passion for uncovering the unique potential of every place and space we serve.

SE Group has been the industry leader in the planning and design of mountain resorts since 1958. Over the years, our team has grown to include landscape architects, community planners, environmental analysts, and economic advisors that are pioneering how communities across the country think about recreation, tourism, and outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a multi-season mountain resort or a schoolyard playground, our clients trust us to lead them from the first spark of inspiration to final phase of implementation.

With hubs in Utah, Colorado, and Vermont, we are lucky to live in the heart of some of the amazing communities we serve. We all share a passion for getting outside (in its many diverse forms) and SE Group is committed to offering an exceptional employee experience that honors this, as well as one that promotes collaboration, mentorship, and growth.

What You’ll Do

This position will be focused on supporting our Community Planning, Recreation Planning, and Landscape Architecture service areas within our Communities Market Area.

The key responsibilities include:

• Workflow Management: use reporting tools like Asana to organize and clarify both near-term and long-term work assignments for the team.
• Business Development: support our competitive pursuit process by developing materials such as scopes of work, project profiles, and team resumes.
• Management Support: collaborate with market area leadership to prepare materials for market area initiatives and calls, build and maintain team metrics and dashboards, and support project set-up & close-out.
• Project Support: contribute to client work through tasks like developing engagement materials, editing documents, coordinating site visits, or other project management tasks.
• Office Coordination: help build an office culture that is connected and efficient.
• Team Communication: be a conduit for key messages and information with the Market and across other disciplines.

What You’ll Do

Experience: We will prioritize candidates that have 2-4 years of professional experience working in planning or design, project administration, or project management coordination.

Education: Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree in a related field; a degree in the planning or design fields is preferred, but not required.

• Demonstrated experience managing project management tools such as Asana or Monday.com – these tools will be your primary vehicle for keeping the team on track!
• Proficient with Adobe suite of products – this is not a graphic design job, but being comfortable with InDesign will really help
• Understanding of document production basics – we’re looking for an above-average Microsoft Word user who loves QA/QC
• Familiarity with the competitive bid process – you understand all the components of a winning proposal
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities at once, often with varying scales/scopes – this work will require you to be highly organized
• An entrepreneurial spirit – you don’t just “do the job”
• Preferred: exposure to the planning and design fields – this could be a perfect pivot for a planner or designer that’s excited about a more internal-facing role

Location: we will be prioritizing candidates that can work from our office in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, we remain open to qualified candidates near our hubs in Burlington, VT or Golden, CO.

Reports to: This position will report to the Communities Managing Director, but will work closely with a variety of project managers within the market.

What You Can Expect from Us

• The anticipated salary range for this position is between $58,000 and $65,000. Actual salaries will vary and are based on several factors such as experience, education, budget, internal equity, and location.
• 401k + 4% company match
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance (premiums 100% covered for employees)
• Health Savings Account (HSA) program with $2,000 annual employer contribution
• Short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance coverage
• Paid Family Leave: we offer new parents paid family leave (for birth or adoption) through a variety of options
• Generous vacation policy that promotes wellness (we want you to you to be balanced!)
• Flexible work environment that supports active lifestyles (work hard, play hard is our ethos!)
• Paid subscription to Headspace app and numerous outdoor pro form deals
