Job description

Overview

Come and join our dynamic, international and professional team for the season 2025-2026, or perhaps even longer!

HuskyCo became part of the Wilderness Hotels & Safaris family in November 2024, which has brought many positive changes to our dog yard. The biggest of these is a full kennel renovation, making it more functional and providing our dogs with the best possible life – while ensuring unforgettable memories for our guests.

To make this all possible, we are looking for motivated people who are eager to learn, grow, and work with us.

Our kennel has just under 200 dogs: some working, some retired, and some still growing into sled dogs. All our dogs live in pens, and our retirees and youngsters have a dedicated area where they can interact and develop their social skills.

In our team, everyone does everything – we dont separate guides and mushers.

Our main programme is a 10 km tour, guided either by snowmobile or sled depending on the days workload. Typically, we have four starts per day: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. The workday starts at 7 am and usually finishes before 5 pm.
