Aramark Destinations Denali Park Village

Wake Up to Wilderness: Work & Travel in Denali National Park

Imagine finishing your shift and stepping outside to see snow-capped mountains glowing in the midnight sun, with moose wandering past the tree line and the Nenana River rushing nearby. That’s an ordinary evening at Denali Park Village, a spectacular Aramark Destinations resort located just minutes from the entrance of Denali National Park, Alaska — home to North America’s tallest peak.

We’re hiring international university students for our Housekeeping Crew – Late Shift for the Summer to Fall season. If you’re organized, energetic, and dreaming of an Alaskan adventure, this is your ticket to one of the most unforgettable summers of your life.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Cleaning and refreshing guest rooms, cabins, and public areas to Aramark’s high standards
• Changing linens, making beds, and restocking towels and amenities
• Vacuuming, dusting, sanitizing bathrooms, and removing trash
• Sorting, transporting, and organizing laundry and housekeeping supplies
• Reporting maintenance issues and lost-and-found items to your supervisor
• Working as part of an international team to prepare the lodge for arriving guests

• Hours: Approximately 40 hours per week
• Season: Summer to Fall

Why Denali?

Denali National Park covers six million acres of untouched Alaskan wilderness — bigger than many countries in Europe. On your days off you can hike alpine tundra trails, spot grizzly bears, caribou and Dall sheep on a park bus tour, go whitewater rafting on the Nenana River, ride the Alaska Railroad, or take a flightseeing tour over the glaciers of Denali itself. In summer, daylight lasts almost around the clock, so your free time stretches far beyond a normal day. As the season turns toward fall, the tundra explodes into red and gold — and the first northern lights of the year appear.

What You’ll Gain

• Competitive, guaranteed hourly pay with a full 40-hour schedule
• Employee housing and staff meal options available on site (details provided by the employer)
• Employee recreation programs, staff activities, and discounts on park tours
• Real international work experience with Aramark, a global hospitality leader
• Rapid improvement in your English and teamwork skills
• Friendships with students and seasonal staff from all over the world

Who We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 enrolled in a Work & Travel USA program
• Conversational English and a friendly, guest-focused attitude
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently and in a team
• Physically comfortable with an active role: standing, walking, bending, and lifting/pushing housekeeping carts and linens
• Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays (late shift)
• Ready for a remote location with limited nightlife — but unlimited nature
