Rental Tech 2025
Rental Tech 2025
Maybe this job title isn’t as glamorous as Operations Manager or Canoe Guide, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun. Some days are so busy quitting time will arrive in the blink of an eye. On slower days, usually when it’s raining, we’ll have you puttering around doing odd jobs such as sweeping, giving the washrooms a deep clean and organizing. It’s like working in a fast food restaurant, except it’s a bit more hip, and the pay is better, and you’re serving canoes instead of burgers, and you don’t go home smelling like the fryers. Okay, it’s nothing like a fast food restaurant.
The best part of this position is the camaraderie. Our team is a group of friends (don’t worry, we add new friends each season) who have vegetable gardens, brew beer and ‘booch, explore the backcountry and travel in the off season. There’s usually a campfire at least once a week.
We usually start our rental techs at our company starting wage of $17/hr and bump that with a raise once you hit your stride (or more, if you are really good at stealing work from me). Payday is every second week. Sometimes we’ll drop some beer at the office on the in-between weeks so there’s still something to look forward to.
Each season we offer this position from:
Late-June through to early-September (negotiable) &
Mid-May though Mid-October (negotiable)
You’ll be at the head of the pack if you bring these to the table:
second language (french, german, mandarin)
Mi'kmaq heritage
equanimity
digital marketing experience
savvy with social media
desire to have a vegetable patch (okay, this isn’t that important, but it sure is cool)
Send a cover letter (important!) detailing what you've accomplished (in line with this job) that you're proud of and what you intend to do for us and how that'll translate to us becoming the best adventure tourism company in the world. Please include your resume, too. (info@whynotadventure.ca) Also, even if you don’t feel you’re qualified or are just nervous, send your resume and cover letter anyway (some of our finest team members almost didn’t apply…).
