Northwest Outward Bound School (NWOBS) seeks qualified applicants to help facilitate life-changing experiences for our students as Logistics Coordinators at our wilderness bases. Working with other staff, Logistics Coordinators manage the logistical preparation for our courses, build rapport with students, facilitate course functions, and maintain the logistical systems at our basecamps. For those looking to gain more outdoor education experience, this position can be a great stepping stone towards other field staff positions at NWOBS, but we fully welcome those who are solely interested in logistics work!
