Live and Work at the Gateway to Glacier National Park

Imagine starting your workday with a view of snow-capped peaks, ancient glaciers and crystal-clear alpine lakes. Glacier Park by Pursuit is looking for enthusiastic university students to join its team as Front Desk Associates in West Glacier, Montana — right at the entrance of the legendary Going-To-The-Sun Road, one of the most scenic drives on the planet.

This is more than a summer job. It’s your chance to spend a season inside one of the most spectacular landscapes in the United States, meet travelers from all over the world, sharpen your English and build hospitality experience that looks great on any CV.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Welcoming guests with a warm smile, checking them in and out of the lodge
• Answering questions about the park, hiking trails, shuttle schedules and local attractions
• Managing reservations, room assignments and guest requests using the property management system
• Handling payments, invoices and cash-register operations accurately
• Communicating with housekeeping, maintenance and activities teams to keep guests happy
• Being the friendly problem-solver every traveler remembers long after their trip

Why West Glacier, Montana?

West Glacier is the western gateway to Glacier National Park — over one million acres of wilderness with more than 700 miles of hiking trails, 130 named lakes and some of the darkest, most star-filled night skies in North America. On your days off you can hike to Avalanche Lake, raft the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, spot mountain goats and grizzly bears from a safe distance, or ride the historic Red Bus Tours along Going-To-The-Sun Road.

The community is small, friendly and full of seasonal workers just like you — expect campfires, group hikes and friendships that stretch across continents.
