Job description

About the Position: We are preparing for a new ski season at Rauland, and we are now looking for a person to work with rescue operations, first aid, and preventive safety work within the resort. The Ski Patrol at Rauland Ski Center is responsible for providing high-quality first aid and ensuring safe and careful transportation of our guests. We maintain a high level of preparedness for potential rescue operations involving our chairlifts.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors, has a strong service mindset, and communicates well with others. Previous experience from similar work, such as volunteering with the Red Cross or other roles involving first aid and injury management, is a significant advantage.

You will be a visible representative throughout the resort, most often on skis and occasionally on a snowmobile. You must be able to work independently while also functioning well as part of a team. A large part of the role involves preventive safety work, including securing ski slopes, installing fences, nets, and signage, and maintaining them throughout the season. Other operational tasks and assistance to lift attendants may also be required.

You must be comfortable working at heights, as the position forms part of the company's rescue preparedness team.

Key Responsibilities

• Incident response, injury management, accident reporting, and rescue operations in lifts, ski slopes, and surrounding ski areas.
• Responsibility for safety measures on ski runs, including course marking, fencing, and protective padding.
• Training and cooperation with other members of the Ski Patrol.
• Climbing and work at height.

Qualifications

• Good physical fitness and health.
• Responsible, proactive, and solution-oriented.
• Strong communication skills in Norwegian/Scandinavian and English.
• Advanced alpine skiing skills.
• Comfortable working at heights.
• At least 18 years of age.
• Previous experience in the ski industry, similar service roles, and strong references are a major advantage.
• Technical and practical skills are beneficial.
• Valid Category B driver's license.
• Access to your own car is an advantage.
• The position is part of the ski resort's rescue preparedness team; therefore, applicants should be in good physical condition and comfortable working at heights.
• You provide excellent customer service and have a friendly and outgoing personality.
• Eager and willing to learn.

We Offer

• Competitive salary, a free season pass, and attractive employee discounts.
• Loan of ski equipment for the season.
• Assistance with accommodation.
• Direct access to mountain activities and outdoor recreation.
• A varied and sometimes fast-paced work environment.
• An exciting workplace that is continuously developing and growing.
• A strong sense of community with fantastic colleagues.

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, no later than October 28th, 2026.
