The Opportunity  

Are you ready to work where alpine landscapes meet adventure? This is more than a job—it’s a career opportunity with room to grow, even if you’re less experienced and eager to learn. We’re seeking a versatile and proactive Resort Operations Staff who thrives in the outdoors. This dynamic role changes with the seasons—flexibility is essential!

Green Season (Non-Winter Months)
As the snow melts, the resort transforms into a hub for summer events and outdoor recreation. Your responsibilities will include:

• Pre-fire season preparation
• Trail maintenance across 40km of mountain bike tracks and hiking trails
• Carpark/road asphalt resurfacing
• Stormwater management works
• Supporting capital works projects

White Season (Winter)
When the snow returns, your focus shifts to:

• Operating front-end loaders and MR truck as part of snow clearing operations
• Operating snow blowers and clearers to maintain safe pathways
• Building maintenance and upkeep
• Waste management and resort presentation

Note: As machinery operation is a core part of this role, holding a White Card is mandatory.

Training & Development

• On-the-job training for machinery operation and resort maintenance tasks.
• Mentoring from experienced team members to build your confidence and skills.
• Opportunities to gain additional certifications relevant to resort operations.

The Ops Team:
You’ll be part of a close-knit team of 8–12 Resort Operations Officers, working collaboratively to keep the resort running smoothly. The team reports directly to the Resort Operations Supervisor, ensuring clear communication and support throughout the seasons.

To support your transition, short-term accommodation is available (at employee cost), making it easier to settle in and start your ARV journey. Plus, enjoy a 4-day condensed working week, giving you more time to explore the mountains.
