Are you an experienced Service Manager / Mechanic looking to work at one of British Columbia's premier cat skiing destinations? Baldface provides an unforgettable backcountry experience across two iconic operations: Baldface Lodge and Baldface Valhalla. Our team of mechanics and supporting staff are the backbone of the operation, ensuring our equipment is always ready to serve our guests the best day of their lives over and over. As a year‑round Baldface mechanic, you’ll be hands‑on maintaining and repairing a diverse fleet that includes snowcats, generators, snowmobiles, and passenger transport vehicles. This role is ideal for a heavy equipment, diesel, or off‑road mechanic looking for a change of pace.

When the cats are out roaming the mountain, you will be supporting the team around the base with your skills to ensure that lodge operations continue to run smoothly. Our ideal mechanic is optimistic, adaptable, and unfazed by the unexpected—someone who can keep the generators running, get a machine unstuck, diagnose an issue in the field, and make secure, timely repairs with resources available.

and create connections that span the mountain industry—this is where your skills belong. The Essentials $32.50 – $45.00 per hour, commensurate with experience and/or apprenticeship level.
