Positions Available

The Moresby Explorers Ltd. has two positions available for the 2008 season. Both positions are an opportunity for a motivated, enthusiastic individual to experience the beauty of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve while working in a fun, positive, informal team environment. If you would like to be considered for either of these positions, please forward your resume to info@moresbyexplorers.com (P.O. Box 127, Sandspit BC, V0T 1T0). Please include a cover letter stating which position you are applying for (or if you would like to be considered for both) and what skills and strengths you would bring to our team. We are always looking for staff who want to return year after year.

Office Staff

This is a full time position from May to September. Responsibilities will be shared with another office person. Duties include answering phone calls, writing emails, booking clients, and providing information about our services to potential clients. You will also be responsible for keeping the office clean and neat, and preparing the lunches to be sent out on trips the next day. You will be part of a team that works each day to keep our clients happy and keep everything running smoothly, and as such you may perform a wide variety of tasks, such as prepping rental kayaks, fixing and organizing things in the shop, and thinking on your feet to solve daily problems. You must be capable of both giving and taking directions, as well as figuring out what needs to be done independently. Previous experience with office work and work in the tourism industry is an asset. Friendly, outgoing personality and ability to learn new skills and make decisions are a must. This job requires a high level of commitment and long hours of work, but is varied and interesting, and we will provide opportunities to get out on the boat and experience our tours and the wilderness of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. We provide room and board. First year wages for this position start at $2,200/month and increase as time goes on.

Float Camp Cook

This is a full time position from late May to early September. You will be responsible for cooking meals for groups of 8-10 clients at our floating cabin located on the northern boundary of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. The cabin has very little electricity and many things run on propane. Formal cooking experience is not necessary, as long as you are able to learn quickly. You will be responsible for planning all meals, ordering supplies in advance, keeping the cabin clean and neat, and making clients feel welcome. You need to be self-motivated and have a friendly and pleasant manner in dealing with clients. Most of your summer will be spent at the cabin, where you will sometimes spend several days alone. You should be able to improvise and deal with hands-on troubleshooting situations. You will have access to kayaks and the possibility of going along on boat tours as an assistant. You must be able to cope with being alone and also dealing with large groups of people. First year wages are $2,000/month.
