The Crew Coordinator  will support the operation of the Maine Trail Crew, a field team of approximately five. The Trail Crew will build stone steps, waterbars, retaining walls, and other erosion control structures.  The Crew Coordinator will prioritize time as follows: (1) off trail, from basecamp, managing logistics, and (2) working as a crew member on the Appalachian Trail.  Some duties will include managing life at basecamp which will be used for off day housing by the crew, other seasonal employees, and volunteers; planning, purchasing and organizing backcountry meals; transporting crew members and volunteers; maintaining the crew budget, record keeping and reporting; and helping the Crew Leader trouble-shoot problems.

Housing will be provided at our new Maine Trail Center,  in Skowhegan. Having a personal vehicle for days off is essential as Maine is a rural state with limited public transportation. Sorry, no pets.

• Backcountry backpacking, camping and cooking experience.
• Strong organization skills.
• Effective communication skills (verbal, written).
• Good health, physically fit, and must be able to hike long distances in mountain terrain.

• Ability to work well with others from a variety of backgrounds.
