Arctic Lodge Cook & Housekeeper – Seasonal

Bettles Lodge is hiring for this summer and beyond. Come enjoy the midnight sun 35 miles North of the Arctic Circle in Bettles, Alaska this summer.

Come experience the Arctic in our very small, fly‑in‑only community. Bettles is located just south of the Brooks Range Mountains and less than 1/2 mile from the shores of the Koyukuk River. We are looking for great team members who love working with people.

Enjoy the endless summer sun and then, as we approach fall (late August/September), you will have a chance to view the amazing Aurora Borealis. Our summer season starts between approximately June 1 and ends on October 15. We are always looking for full‑time help in the off‑season as well. For the right person, this is a year‑round job.

We provide a private sleeping room and 3 meals per day for our employees. Bathrooms are shared. The rooms are comfortable but rustic. Pets are not allowed.

We pay $14 per hour (starting pay) with time and a half for hours over 8 hours per day or over 40 hours per week. For more experienced applicants, pay is negotiable. There is also an end‑of‑season bonus upon successful completion of the season. Tips are split equally between all staff members (approximately 10 this season). You will have the opportunity to go flight seeing on your day off to the National Parks and enjoy leisurely river floats with our guests and other outdoor activities.

You must be able to get yourself to Fairbanks. We provide air transportation from Fairbanks to Bettles at the beginning of the season and then back to Fairbanks at the end of the season.

Expect physically hard work in Bettles, where every job requires standing, lifting, negotiating uneven ground, climbing up and down stairs, and hard work no matter what position you have with our Lodge.

Team Responsibilities
:

• Energetic team members that love people, nature, and living remotely. Teamwork is essential. While everyone has a primary job function, you must be willing to do any job including (but not limited to) aircraft fueling, brush clearing, wood splitting, housekeeping, answering the phone, and more.
• Customer service and helping our guests with their "bucket list" dreams is always #1.

Positions we are hiring for:

• Breakfast Cook:
  Cook for approximately 50-75 people each day, prep, cook, and plate by yourself. Cook from scratch in our kitchen with proven recipes. You will also have some freedom to create new menu items.
• Housekeeper:
  Take care of our Aurora Lodge (8 rooms) and our Historic Lodge (6 rooms). What the lodge lacks in amenities due to our remoteness, we make up with cleanliness.

Important Requirements
:

• There is no cell service, and sometimes limited internet access. You MUST be able to disconnect from the electronic world.
• Unfortunately we do not sponsor J-1 or H2b visa holders.

We hope to find enthusiastic, dependable individuals to join our team and help create unforgettable experiences for our guests.
