More About Lodge Staff Jobs

Most lodges run June through September and hire from December through March. Pay is commonly $2,500 to $3,500 per month for staff and $4,000 to $6,000 per month for managers and chefs, with housing, meals and often airfare to remote locations. End-of-season bonuses of $500 to $2,000 for staff who complete the season are common.

No experience is required for most staff positions. Managers need previous lodge or hospitality management experience.

Lodge positions are a common first Alaska job because they need no experience and come with everything: a staff cabin, three meals, and a flight in and out. Days are long, usually 10 to 12 hours, six days a week, from the first guest arrival in June through the last departure in September. Staff who finish the season are often invited back at a higher wage, and many move into guiding, dock management or kitchen lead roles in their second year. Lodges also hire winter caretakers from among summer staff.
