Wake Up to Mountain Views Every Single Day

Imagine finishing your shift and driving 30 minutes to one of the most breathtaking national parks on Earth. That’s everyday life when you join Glacier Park by Pursuit at Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish, Montana — a legendary alpine resort town where turquoise lakes, pine forests and jagged peaks are your backyard.

As part of the Housekeeping team, you’ll be at the heart of the guest experience at a beautiful lodge that welcomes travellers from all over the world. This is more than a summer job — it’s a genuine American adventure with a paycheck, new friends from every continent, and stories you’ll still be telling in ten years.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Cleaning and refreshing guest rooms, bathrooms and public areas to Pursuit’s high standards
  • Changing bed linens, making beds and restocking towels and amenities
  • Vacuuming, dusting, mopping and sanitising surfaces
  • Restocking your housekeeping cart and managing laundry and supplies
  • Reporting maintenance issues and lost-and-found items to your supervisor
  • Greeting guests warmly and answering simple questions with a smile

Benefits & Perks

  • Employee housing assistance typically available (details confirmed at placement)
  • Work alongside an international team and improve your English every day
  • Employee discounts and staff activities offered by Pursuit
  • Real hospitality experience with a respected North American brand for your CV
  • Opportunity to add extra hours in other departments where available

What We’re Looking For

  • University students aged 18–25 on a J-1 Work & Travel USA visa
  • Conversational English — enough to understand instructions and greet guests
  • Strong work ethic, attention to detail and pride in a job well done
  • Physical stamina: you’ll be standing, bending, lifting and moving throughout your shift
  • Reliable, punctual and happy to work weekends and holidays
  • A positive, team-first attitude and no previous experience required — full training provided
