  • Maintain grounds such as mowing, cutting back brush, sweeping, and light painting

  • Transfer fuel and monitor fuel storage tank levels

  • Greet floatplanes at the dock and assist with loading/unloading

  • Conduct maintenance and repairs on Lodge buildings and equipment

Unique Living Experience: Remote, peaceful environment coupled with busy summer months hosting owners, guests, and construction projects

Important Details:

Caretakers may be required to remain on-site except for serious emergencies. Any planned multi-day leaves must be approved by the Lodge Manager. The summer months can be busy with multiple work crews and groups arriving, so a positive, courteous, and self-reliant attitude is essential.

Experience the Alaskan wilderness, support unique operations, and create memories that last a lifetime.

We look forward to hearing from you!
