Burn garbage and manage non-burnable waste for air transport
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
Submit weekly activity reports to the Lodge Manager
What We’re Looking For:
Friendly, organized, and responsible with excellent communication skills
Strong work ethic, service-oriented, and self-motivated
Healthy, physically fit, neat, clean appearance
Drug-free and non-smoker (pre-hire drug testing may apply)
What You Get:

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!
