About this role

About the role


What the work is actually like (read this carefully):

  • You'll be outside all day in cold, rain, and sometimes snow
  • 10+ hour days, 6 days a week during peak season
  • You'll be on ladders and roofs daily — if you're not comfortable at heights, this isn't the right fit
  • The work is physical — climbing, carrying equipment, repetitive overhead work
  • The season is compressed: ~3-4 months of intense work (potential for extended season)


If that sounds like your kind of thing, keep reading.
