Work in Dawson City
Come and experience the land of the midnight sun!
Dawson City is a small lively town bursting with history dating back over 100 years. Our operation is nestled between wooden boardwalks and historic Gold Rush buildings. This colorful community provides a unique experience for not only our guests but our team as well. We developed and operate a variety of excursions in Dawson City that entice our guests to experience this unique location. Whether you’re a Guest Sales and Service Host or Driver/Guide we have a position for you on our team for the summer season.
Dawson City is a small town and everything around town is easily accessible by foot. Many locals also rely on their bikes to get around town. Three websites that provide further information are:
http://www.dawsoncity.ca and www.yukoninfo.com and www.travelyukon.com
Our small and friendly team will begin training in mid-May and the season will typically end around September. We look for candidates that are available until the end of the season.
All of our full-time jobs are 5 days a week – 8 hours a day – we also try to give you 2 days off in a row so that you can enjoy your time in Dawson – although due to unforeseen circumstances this isn’t a guarantee (but we do try real, real hard to do this for you). Our busiest times of the day are in the morning when all of our guests depart or are taking local tours and in the early evening/late afternoon when our guests return from their tours or arrive in town.
Housing in Dawson City is limited and can be quite expensive. Fortunately, we can offer shared, subsidized housing on a first come, first serve basis. Housing can be very difficult to find on your own and there are very limited internet resources where local people list their housing. We also have contacts at a local RV park if you own a RV and want to live in that for the season – typical monthly rates are $800+ for full-hook ups.
Why Work in the Yukon?
Join our Dawson City team and create memories that you will be sharing for years to come. Come experience living in the land of the midnight sun and have the opportunity to meet new friends from all over Canada and the United States. We always encourage our staff to explore their new home on their days off. Go river rafting, camping, hiking or even canoe down the famous Yukon River. We also have monthly staff bbq’s and encourage our staff to join in all of the activities that happen in the Dawson community, such as our world famous Music Fest weekend.
We have many staff that return year after year to rekindle friendships, to meet new people and to experience the Yukon with our guests. We would enjoy welcoming you to this family.
Transportation to Dawson
