Company Information:

We have created a place unlike any other, steeped in history and the stories of people once brought by rail, now inspired by a passion for nature, this is a place to unplug and reconnect.

Overview:

The role of Lodge Caretaker assigns you full responsibility for lodge operations both inside and out. The role is labour intensive and requires a high level of responsibility, but that only inspires you. As the Lodge Host, it is your job to make sure that every guest has an incredible stay at Chute Lake Lodge. Beyond daily oversight and leadership of housekeeping and guest experience you will be accountable for efficient snow clearing, yard maintenance, repairs and maintenance of cabins/washrooms/lodge rooms etc. It is your attention to detail and your commitment to first-class service and hospitality that will add the finishing touch to the Chute Lake Lodge experience. You are passionate about the backcountry experience, and you enjoy sharing the experience. You make each guest feel welcome and strive to make them feel comfortable, relaxed, safe, and right at home. You are a true people person, yet you thrive on living a little further down the road from most folks (about 30 minutes from Penticton and an hour from Kelowna). You love the outdoors and the opportunities it offers those who only live off the beaten trail. You are an independent self-starter, a hard-worker, and a team player. You have a keen eye for detail and you take the initiative to do what needs to be done to ensure that each guest has an incredible time at Chute Lake Lodge. The idea of living in the mountains, but still close enough to civilization to enjoy modern amenities appeals to you. The Operations Manager is provided with a two-bedroom apartment in the lodge with a private kitchen and bathroom, giving you your own space to retreat to after a full day or work and play.
