Job Summary

We are seeking a passionate individual who is looking for a calling, not just a job. This is an opportunity for a dedicated culinarian to immerse themselves in a remote wilderness lifestyle where your work, creativity, and daily experience are one and the same.

The Chef is a key leadership role. Because we operate both a lodge and a busy adventure company, you must be highly autonomous and capable of managing the lodge kitchen independently while the owner is leading expeditions in the field. Our kitchen is a wide-open concept; you must be a "Host-Chef"; professionally presentable, deeply hospitable, and genuinely comfortable interacting with international guests, media, and qualified film crews. We aren't just looking for someone to cook; we are looking for a partner in the lodge experience who thrives in the serenity and challenges of the Yukon.
