Camp Auxiliary

This is a unique position that exists to help the camp supervisor run a smooth and efficient camp. Duties are divided between daily responsibilities that are consistent throughout the season and the "challenges of the day" that vary based on the demands of the day and the current camp situation. In addition to the goings on of everyday camp, the team of Auxiliaries are the ones who are primarily responsible for the taking down, moving, and setting up of the Windfirm camps to new locations when needed.

Daily responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Filling water bladders
• Maintain adequate fuel levels in the camp generators and pumps
• Fuel, garbage or supply runs to town (if needed)
• General camp maintenance as needed (i.e. Generator oil changes, pump oil changes)
• liasing closely with the camp supervisor and the cooks for a healthy productive working relationship -you are essentially each other's crew mates

Challenges of the days could include (but not limited to):

• delivering trees for crew leads
• delivering atv's
• slinging trees with helicopter
• pulling out stuck trucks or quads
• taking planters in for physio or medical
• planting burnpiles
• running "special mission" plants

The perfect candidate would be responsible and trustworthy to be able to work alone much of the time (with safety checkins and monitoring), be creative with solutions to the many challenges in running planting operations, a safe and responsible driver (comfortable and competent with hauling trailers), adapatable to a constantly changing and challenging work environment, be aware and accepting of fluctuating hours of work in a day, be kind and supportive to the kitchen teams, the supervisor, the crew leaders and the planting camp.

Our camps are all bush camps. This role is based on a day rate to be discussed with potential hires. Pay is through direct deposit every two weeks and there is a remote workers allowance as well. There will be safety and certification trainings in:

Resource Road Truck Driving

ATV operations (Canada Safety Council)

First Aid

NSDP harassment education

UTV operations (Canada Safety Council)
