The Fairmont is hiring & here are 6 reasons why working in the mountains might be for you

Imagine a destination that boasts mountainous backdrops, shaded forests, beautiful lakes and tons of fun activities year-round. Sounds like a dream destination, doesn’t it? Now, imagine being here for an indefinitely extended period. That’s a fantasy we’ve all had on multiple occasions. And thanks to Accor Group’s Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, this daydream is set to come true.

The Fairmont recently announced its job openings across four iconic mountain properties, Fairmont Banff Springs, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

While living amidst bountiful nature and spectacular views away from the city chaos is reason enough for us to consider working at Fairmont, there are a lot more reasons why working with Fairmont has its share of irresistible perks. Here are 6 of many—

Comfy Accommodation

Frankly, any accommodation outside of Toronto would seem affordable to us. But Fairmont goes a step further 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 kind of is the obvious choice.

Affordable Meals

Fairmont’s Mountain Hotels have an in-house staff cafeteria, that serves colleagues fresh, hot meals at all times. Employees in Banff, Lake Louise and Whistler get one complimentary meal each shift, and all hotels offer a subsidized price ($4 – $5) for additional meals.

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. From skiing at the Whistler resort to hiking the Jasper National Park to exploring glacier-fed lakes around Banff and Lake Louise, there’s a lot to explore at every Fairmont Mountain property.

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 mountain region Fairmont for a mere $99/night with their Mountain Explorer Program. Plus, you get some seriously dope discounts on all Fairmont and Accor properties worldwide.

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 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.
