Sous Chef / Camp Cook
Blachford Lodge, Northwest Territories
Remote fly-in lodge
Seasonal role with break-up transition
A season in the North — where good food and a strong team make it all work
This isn’t your typical kitchen job. At Blachford Lodge, you’ll spend your season working in a remote northern environment where adaptability matters, teamwork is everything, and your role shifts with the realities of the season.
We’re looking for a Sous Chef who can also step into a Camp Cook role during break-up — someone who takes pride in feeding people well, can deliver consistent service during guest season, and is comfortable working independently when operations transition.

We deliver immersive, year-round northern experiences and pride ourselves on high-quality food, strong team culture, and operating with care in a remote, off-grid environment.
