Are you an experienced Mechanic looking to work at one of British Columbia's premier cat skiing destinations?
Baldface provides an unforgettable backcountry experience across two iconic operations: Baldface Lodge and Baldface Valhalla. Our team of mechanics and supporting staff are the backbone of the operation, ensuring our equipment is always ready to serve our guests the best day of their lives over and over.
As a year-round Baldface mechanic, you’ll be hands-on maintaining and repairing a diverse fleet that includes snowcats, generators, snowmobiles, and passenger transport vehicles. This role is ideal for a heavy equipment, diesel, or off-road mechanic looking for a change of pace.
Experience with dozers, excavators, forestry equipment, mining gear, or agricultural machinery translates well, and snowcat-specific training is provided. This isn’t a shop-only position. You’ll work in real backcountry conditions, diagnosing and solving problems in the field where mechanical intuition, calm decision-making, and resourcefulness truly matter. When the cats are out roaming the mountain, you will be supporting the team around the base with your skills to ensure that lodge operations continue to run smoothly.
Our ideal mechanic is optimistic, adaptable, and unfazed by the unexpected—someone who can keep the generators running, get a machine unstuck, diagnose an issue in the field, and make safe, timely repairs with resources available.
If you’re looking to work alongside a passionate crew, wake up to stunning mountain views each day, and create connections that span the mountain industry - this is where your skills belong.
The Essentials:
$42.50 - $45.00 per hour, commensurate with experience and/or apprenticeship level.

Full health and dental for you and your dependents
Confidential Employee Family Assistance Program
Retirement savings program with Baldface matching contributions at 3%
