• This position is based in Churchill, Manitoba, a remote subarctic community only accessible by rail or plane.
• Occasional travel to Winnipeg, Manitoba by plane or train is required; travel to other location may also be required (<5%).
• Working in a small subarctic community involves adapting to extreme weather conditions, including prolonged cold, snow, and wind. Access to goods and services may be limited compared to urban centres, and infrastructure can be affected by seasonal factors. Success in this environment requires flexibility, resilience, and an ability to plan for weather- and season-related impacts on daily operations.
• Mix of office, hotel, and restaurant environments:
  • Office environment: prolonged periods of sitting and using a computer in this role may lead to eye strain, neck and back discomfort, and wrist fatigue from extended screen time and repetitive mouse/keyboard use. Regular breaks, ergonomic adjustments, and movement throughout the day can help reduce these physical stresses.
  • Hotel environment: may involve prolonged periods of standing or walking on hard flooring, navigating stairs, and moving between guest rooms and facilities. Exposure to cleaning products, laundry equipment, and variable room temperatures is common. Proper footwear, regular hydration, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed can help reduce physical strain.
  • Restaurant environment: often fast-paced and physically demanding, requiring extended periods of standing, frequent movement between kitchen and dining areas, and carrying trays or supplies. Exposure to noise, heat from kitchen equipment, and potential allergens is common. Adherence to food safety protocols, slip-resistant footwear, and proper lifting techniques are essential for safety and comfort.
• Must be able to perform physically demanding tasks, including safely lifting up to 50 pounds (22.68 kilograms), standing for extended periods of time, bending at the waist, crouching and kneeling, reaching overhead, and walking over uneven surfaces.
• Must remain free of impairment from drugs, alcohol, or other mental and physical conditions (fit for duty) while on duty and/or on call to work.
• Overtime will be required during evenings, weekends, and on holidays, especially during peak seasons.
• Must be legally entitled to work in Canada.
