Employment

Southeastern Expeditions has been operating on the Chattooga River since 1972. In 2014 the company was purchased by RaftOne Company. RaftOne brought much needed engaged ownership to a company that has a legacy known throughout the world. With the help of the current staff and management SEE is and will continue to be where many outdoor professionals call home. 

Southeastern Expedition’s rafting season normally begins in mid March and runs through the first of November. We offer competitive wages and benefits and most positions are entry level, although senior and management positions do come available from time to time. In addition to rafting, we offer guided mountain biking, hiking, & kayak instruction.

Seasonal Employment and Off-Peak Season Opportunity

Because we are a seasonal business, it is difficult to offer full time work; however, we try very hard to provide our staff with steady employment throughout the season. During the summer months everyone is expected to work when needed. Time off during peak times is not guaranteed, but we try to comply with your requests. Providing our guests with the best experience on the Chattooga River is our priority and that means their time and enjoyment comes first!

Southeastern Expedition’s management wants you to have the opportunity to enjoy the services and products we offer to our guests. This is an opportunity for you to learn new skills in a wide variety of settings. We expect professionalism and commitment from you – in turn we offer a fun work environment, a commitment to an outstanding guest experience and the enjoyment of working with a team of people who value outdoor recreation as a way of life – not just as a business.

Some of our benefits include:
• Trips for friends & family at either no charge or little cost based on availability and season
• 20-30% discounts in all our retail locations
• Free training program
• Discounted First Aid, CPR and Swift Water Training certification programs
• Free staff housing – based on availability
• Pro-deal programs for personal gear and equipment purchases
