WHY THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT

As Canada’s #1 selling whole bean coffee, demand for our organic, Fairtrade beans keeps climbing from coast to coast. That means one thing: we need more awesome humans on our team. We’re gearing up to grow big while staying true to what got us here.

We’ve been making kick-ass coffee for 30 years. We roast every bean in the Rocky Mountains, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. It’s where we’ve built something pretty special.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t do average. And we definitely don’t do half-assed. From how we source our beans to how we treat our people, we’re all in.

We are hellbent on doing great work and living a great life while we’re at it.

Reliable jobs with good pay, building real skills and still having gas in the tank to get after it when the workday is done. That’s Kicking Horse Coffee. Whether that’s lakes, trails, powder days, or just soaking up Columbia Valley life with your family, we want you leaving your shift with energy left for the good stuff
