What we're looking for:

  • Safety oriented individuals with a passion for the outdoors. Minimizing risk is our #1 priority - fun is a close second
  • A keen interest in environmental stewardship and enjoy teaching others about it daily
  • Physically able to lift 80 lbs and work a labor intensive job for up to 10 hours/day
  • Team players, individuals who can put guest and team priorities above personal objectives

Main Duties

Safety

  • Adhere to and maintain knowledge of all job-related protocols, policies, and procedures.

  • Prepare equipment, retrieve harnesses, distribute helmets and build understanding around the correct usage of all components.
  • Control equipment inventory, returning all harnesses and helmets into storage after use.

  • Greet groups on time and enthusiastically.
  • Understand that each guest' experience is their first and treat them as such.
  • Uphold the highest level of customer service during every tour - from start to finish.
  • Take ownership of customer needs and address any concerns before they become a problem.
  • Teach ecological material in an interesting and factual manner, appropriate for each group.
  • Engage and educate diverse guest demographics in the location's ecological story, guided by the Natural Step

Hours, Training & Benefits:

  • On-call schedule with possible irregular hours - typical shift: 2-3 tours/day (booking dependant)
  • We work in a seasonal town, our staff work hard in the summer and book their holidays during the shoulder seasons (September - mid-December) - if you aim to take time off in July or August this role may not be the best fit
  • Hourly wage starting at $20.50 per hour
  • All job-specific training is done in house - over a 2 week period

ADVENTURE - EDUCATION - INSPIRATION
We are a guest-focused business that is seasonal in nature - during peak times we may call on our team to get outside, work additional hours and do whatever it takes to deliver the experience we are renowned for.
