Come spend the summer in the Arctic... Work hard, play harder!

Bettles Lodge is hiring all positions for this summer and beyond.  Come enjoy the midnight sun 35 miles North of the Arctic Circle in Bettles, Alaska this summer.

Come experience the Arctic in our very small, fly-in-only community.  Bettles is located just south of the Brooks Range Mountains and less than 1/2 mile from the shores of the Koyukuk River.  We are looking for some great team members who love working with people!!

Enjoy the endless summer sun and then as we approach fall (late August/September), you will have a chance to view the amazing Aurora Borealis.  Our summer season starts between approximately June 1 and ends on October 15.  We are always looking for full-time help in the off-season as well.  For the right person, this is a year-round job!

We provide a sleeping room and 3 meals per day for our employees. You can expect a private sleeping room, but bathrooms are shared.  The employee rooms are comfortable, but rustic.  We do not allow employee pets.

We pay $14 per hour (starting pay) with time and 1/2 for hours over 8 hours per day or over 40 hours per week.  For our more experienced applicants, pay is negotiable.  There is also an end-of-season bonus upon successful completion of the season.  Tips are split equally between all staff members (approximately 10 this season).  You will have the opportunity to go flightseeing on your day off to the National Parks.  You will also be able to enjoy leisurely river floats with our guests and enjoy other outdoor activities.

Expect physically hard work in Bettles, where every job requires standing, lifting, negotiating uneven ground, climbing up and down stairs, and hard work no matter what position you have with our Lodge! 

We are looking for energetic team members that love people, nature, and dogs!!  Teamwork is essential.  While everyone has a primary job function, you must be willing to do any job including (but not limited to) aircraft fueling, brush clearing, wood splitting, housekeeping, answering the phone, and more! Customer service and helping our Guests with their "bucket list dreams" is always #1!  We are currently hiring for the following positions. 

• Chef/Short Order Cook:  You should expect to cook for approximately 50 - 75 people each day and be able to prep, cook & plate by yourself.  We cook from scratch in our kitchen with our time proven recipes.  You will also have some freedom to create new menu items.  Dessert is offered every day so you must have some baking skills.  We also have a snack shop so we need at least two cooks.

• Server/Dishwasher:  We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.  Additionally, we have a full service bar.

• Front Desk Clerk:  You will be attending to our front desk and assisting with housekeeping, serving food & drink, and fueling airplanes when needed.

• Housekeeper:  Take care of our Aurora Lodge (8 rooms) and our Historic Lodge (6 rooms).  What our lodge lacks in amenities due to our remoteness, we make up with cleanliness.

• Dog Handler: Help us care for our 24 sled dogs and this yard.  While this isn't a full time job, our dogs need love and attention all summer and we have 3 puppies that need to be harness trained.  When you are not working with the dogs, you will be assisting guests with luggage, taking care of lawns, river rafting with guests and ensuring the guests are enjoying the great outdoors of the Arctic.  If you love it, stay this winter and mush the dogs!

• Outdoor Maintenance:  Fueling airplanes, minor maintenance on buildings and vehicles, cutting wood, etc...  you name it! If you are handy and can fix things, we need YOU!

Note: There is no cell service, and sometimes limited internet access.  You MUST be able to disconnect from the electronic world!  Finally, unfortunately we do not sponsor J-1 or H2b visa holders.
