About the Opportunity

Lake O’Hara Lodge is seeking a Chef or Sous Chef for the 2026 season — an opportunity to live and cook in one of Canada’s most breathtaking alpine settings.

We want to be very clear: we value culture fit, leadership ability, and a positive, collaborative attitude higher than technical culinary skill.

If you bring humility, curiosity, clear communication, and care for the people you work with, you may thrive here.

What Makes This Role Unique

• Lead and work closely with a kitchen team of six staff, fostering teamwork, learning, and a positive daily rhythm
• Opportunity to develop and execute a two-week rotating menu
• A small, supportive workplace where team culture and leadership matter more than ego or intensity
• Remote, peaceful setting in the backcountry
• Full on-site living: private accommodation and all meals provided
• Schedule: 6 days on / 1 day off throughout the season
• Deep connection with a community in a unique, intentional environment

Who We’re Looking For

• A grounded, thoughtful leader who can guide and support a team of six
• A collaborative communicator who fosters a positive, inclusive kitchen culture
• Someone who thrives in remote, community-based environments
• Culinary training or experience is valued, but attitude, professionalism, and leadership ability are our top priorities

---

Responsibilities

• Lead or support daily kitchen operations in a remote lodge setting
• Execute a consistent, creative rotating menu that suits our guest expectations
• Prepare high-quality breakfasts, lunches, baked goods, and plated dinners
• Manage ordering, inventory, and food costs
• Ensure a clean, organized, safe kitchen environment
• Support and guide a team of six kitchen staff through mentorship and clear structure
