Cabin Resource Management Ltd. has built a foundation of experience and dedication to quality and innovative solutions in forestry, heritage, wildfire planning, and resource analysis. We are currently looking to add a Wildfire Planner & Utilities Specialist to our growing team in the West Kootenays.

The Fun Stuff

The natural resource industry can be rigid. Long days. Intense schedules. Ego-driven consulting culture. We built something different.

At Cabin, flexibility isn’t marketing language; it’s how we function.

What That Actually Means:

• Field days around 10 hours

• Reasonable camp ratios

• Recovery time intentionally built into projects

• Flexible start arrangements

• Remote transition options

• Relocation support

The Culture

We’re values-driven and modest.
We like the work we do.
We are not serious all the time (trust us, we can take a joke).

What You’ll Find:

• Dogs in the office and field

• A team that supports each other

• No hierarchy theatre

• We’re high-energy, super inclusive, and 100% here for the ghouls, gays, and they’s - come as you are

• Wage and biannual profit-share based on experience, competency, and length of service

• Gear, training, and professional development allowance

• Per diem for out-of-town shifts

• Extended medical, dental, and RRSP contributions

• Flexible holidays and 20 cm pow rule for winter shredding

• Up to 5 weeks of paid vacation annually

• Divisional reset day - we like to find balance and integrate team building with exploration of the beautiful areas where we work and play in BC. Wine tours, food tours, and recreation opportunities like no other.
