Landscape Architect / Project Manager

About SE Group

At SE Group, our mission is to enrich people’s lives through the power of outdoor recreation — turning local insight and bold ideas into plans, places, and experiences that help communities thrive, landscapes endure, and outdoor recreation inspire. 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 and destinations 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 the final phase of implementation. With hubs in Utah, Colorado, and Vermont, we live in the heart of some of the amazing recreational 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, while promoting collaboration, mentorship, growth—and laughter!
