Maintenance Manager – Creative Projects & Park Sparkle The Enchanted Forest | Malakwa, BC (between Revelstoke & Sicamous)

Some people see a pile of lumber. Others see magic waiting to happen.

The Enchanted Forest, BC’s beloved fairy tale roadside attraction since 1960, is looking for a creative, hands-on Maintenance Manager. You’ll turn imaginative ideas into one-of-a-kind attractions and keep the magic running along the way. You’ll report directly to the park owner and split your time between building new features and caring for the park’s buildings, grounds, equipment and fairy tale favourites.

Why You’ll Love Working for Us

- Work in a forest setting like no other, home to 350+ handcrafted fairy tale figurines and BC’s tallest treehouse
- Help dream up and build brand-new attractions, from the first sketch to the finishing touches
- Variety every day: one day a new build, the next a tiny doorway repair or a maintenance mystery to solve before guests arrive
- Room to think, build and solve on your own, with a direct line to the owner
- See the payoff when a guest stops in wonder at something you helped create

- Lend a hand with park operations when needed, including guest parking and a friendly welcome

- Practical skills across several trades: carpentry, plumbing, painting, mechanical repairs and basic electrical within your qualifications
- A creative mind that can imagine something unusual, and the skills to build it
- Self-directed: you can organize your day and keep work moving without ongoing supervision

- A knack for spotting small problems early
- Sound judgment, including knowing when to call in a qualified tradesperson
