Okay, let’s just put one thing out there— we love Vancouver and all its glorious surrounding areas. But even the most loyal of Vancouverites would agree living outside of the Greater Vancouver area has its perks. Low cost of living, spectacular natural beauty and less chaotic life to name a few. So, we thought we’d share the happy news with anyone interested… Fairmont Chateau Whistler is currently hiring!
An offering of the Accor Group, the Fairmont recently announced job openings at its Whistler Chateau. TBH, living amidst bountiful nature and spectacular views, away from the city chaos is reason enough for us to consider working at Fairmont… But they have a lot more to offer.
Working with Fairmont has its share of irresistible perks. Here are 6 of many—
Comfy Accommodation
Frankly, any accommodation outside of Great Vancouver would seem affordable to us. But Fairmont goes a step ahead to provide employees with subsidized, clean and safe housing. It’s not mandatory to stay here, but with what you’re getting for this price point, it’s kind of is the obvious choice.
Affordable Meals
Fairmont Chateau Whistler has an in-house staff cafeteria, Oscar’s, that serves fresh, hot meals to colleagues. Employees can get one complimentary meal each shift, along with a subsidized price ($5/meal) for any additional meals. For times when you want to indulge, you’ll find some great culinary experiences in Whistler downtown.
Work-Play Balance
When you’re surrounded by all things fun and adventurous, you don’t have to wait for the weekend to indulge. You can do it pre- and post-work, all week long. From hiking, biking and golfing in summer to skiing and snowshoeing in winter, this place is an all-season outdoor paradise.
Hotel Stay Perks
For times when you need a break and want to enjoy the other side of the experience, Fairmont has you covered. As a Fairmont employee, you can stay in any Fairmont Mountain location— Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise— for a mere $99/night. Plus, you get some seriously dope discounts on all Fairmont and Accor properties worldwide. Including the four Fairmont properties in Vancouver, when you are looking for a weekend escape to the city.
Employee Experiences
Providing exceptional service and creating unforgettable experiences is something Fairmont is known for. Of course, when it comes to appreciating their staff, they spare no expense. From epic employee parties to grand holiday galas and everything in between.
Growth Opportunities
As a brand that truly values internal development, the Accor Group provides all employees with plenty of growth opportunities. From skill-building and training programs to opportunities to move into leadership roles, there’s a lot of scope. Especially, given that the group manages over 5,000 properties in more than 100 countries, you will be able to grow your career while seeing the world.
Told ya, the perks were irresistible. Before you prep yourself for the big move though, we suggest you take a look at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Jobs website to learn more about working and living in Whistler, BC.
Frankly, if we could do anything other than writing, we would have pounced on the opportunity.
