Indoor/Outdoor Job with outdoors lifestyle - From Guest Services to flying on a helicopter!
Currently recruiting for the season that runs from May 30th, 2025 to September 12th, 2025.
The Logistics Team or “LT” are a small team who work closely with the Owner and Managers to run the whole operation. For our Guests, the LT is often their first impression, they’re the “face” of the company. Strong admin and customer service skills needed for this diverse position, they will be working indoors and out and get a taste of all of the companies.
They will handle guest check-ins, MICA reservations, guide the zipline, answer the phone, check emails, run the espresso truck and help with marketing, content and social media projects along the way. The LT also run our remote glacier camp accessed by helicopter!
Due to the steep learning curve, most members of the LT start as Interns and are promoted to a paid position once all basic tasks are mastered. LT Interns have the opportunity to learn a lot about how a small business operates and what it takes to be a successful company, while enjoying an outdoor adventure lifestyle in Alaska and taking advantage of our skills and leadership courses.
Apprentice Guides have the opportunity to develop skills and learn how to use these skills to help others enjoy the outdoors. The position is geared towards aspiring guides and outdoor educators.
