This is a hands-on, independent role in a full-service lodge where you’ll be responsible for delivering consistent, high-quality meals in a true wilderness setting.

If you enjoy cooking from scratch, working independently, and being part of a small, tight-knit team—this is a unique opportunity to do all three.

You’ll prepare daily meals for both guests and staff, including:

Menus are made from scratch as much as possible and include a variety of soups, salads, appetizers, entrées, and desserts.

- Running the kitchen independently, day to day
- Executing a 7-day set menu rotation with consistency
- Preparing high-quality meals for guests and staff
- Planning and preparing staff lunches using leftovers and available inventory




- Actively minimizing food waste through thoughtful meal planning
- Maintaining an extremely clean, organized kitchen at all times
- Managing all kitchen duties including cleaning and dishes
- Maintaining food inventory and proper storage
- Assisting in planning and submitting weekly food orders
- Working efficiently with available supplies
- Adjusting to changing conditions (weather delays, shifting guest counts, flight logistics)
- Assisting with seasonal opening and closing of the lodge

What We’re Looking For

- Strong breakfast cooking experience (essential)
- Experience cooking for groups (breakfast and dinner service)
- Ability to work independently as the sole cook
- Strong organization and time management
- Practical, problem-solving mindset
- High standards for cleanliness and kitchen organization
- Positive attitude and team-oriented approach
- Valid First Aid certification
- Comfortable living and working in a remote, dry camp environment
- Available for the full season (May–September 2026)

Compensation

- $5,000/month
- Room and board included
- Share of gratuities
