Help build New Hampshire’s future highway workforce
The UNH T2 Center is
launching a new statewide initiative to strengthen New Hampshire’s highway construction and maintenance workforce, and we’re looking for
someone who wants to help build it.
This role is at the center of that effort. You’ll work across state agencies, municipalities,
contractors, schools, and community organizations to create training programs, connect people to careers, and support a workforce that keeps
New Hampshire’s roads and infrastructure moving.
If you enjoy coordinating programs, building partnerships, and seeing real outcomes
from your work, this is an opportunity to make a visible impact across the state.
What You’ll Do
This role is an
active, collaborative, and outward-facing opportunity to make your mark.

Coordinate and grow workforce training
programs.

- Plan and
deliver training events-from identifying locations and instructors to managing logistics and registration - Build relationships with
stakeholders and partners across New Hampshire - Lead regular partner roundtables to share ideas, solve challenges, and keep momentum
moving - Get out into communities-career fairs, school visits, and events-to promote transportation careers
- Support hands-on
outreach efforts, including interactive demonstrations that introduce people to the field - Help connect participants to training,
resources, and career opportunities - Track program outcomes and help tell the story of the program’s impact
Who This Role
Is a Good Fit For

- Enjoys organizing programs but doesn’t want a purely
administrative role - Is comfortable reaching out, building relationships, and working with a wide range of partners
- Can
manage multiple moving pieces without losing sight of the bigger picture - Is motivated by workforce development, career pathways, and
helping people access meaningful jobs - Is energized by building something new rather than maintaining something static
Basic Qualifications

related field-or equivalent experience (5+ years) - Experience in program coordination, training, workforce development, or a related
area is helpful but not required
Skills That Will Help You Succeed

management - Clear and confident communication with different audiences
- Comfort using Microsoft Office tools (Outlook,
SharePoint, PowerPoint) and virtual platforms (Zoom, Teams) - Willingness to learn new tools and systems
- Familiarity with
workforce programs or funding (such as WIOA) is a plus, but not required
What to Expect
- Primarily remote within New
Hampshire, with approximately 15% in-state travel for events, trainings, and partner meetings - A standard weekday office schedule,
with flexibility for occasional evening or weekend activities tied to outreach or events - A collaborative, mission-driven environment
