We are delighted to welcome applications from international and NZ/Aus experienced instructors, trainers, and performance coaches for our 2023 team. Our operational season at The Remarkables and Coronet Peak is scheduled from mid-June through early/mid October.

If you’re an experienced Level 3 or 4 certified Instructor/Trainer/Coach, we’re keen to hear from you! We focus on delivering high-value, high-quality experiences in private and group lessons, as well as multi-day programmes. For experienced Examiners/Level 4s (or equivalent), we also offer a suite of aspirational programmes in our Performance Academy.

Our values of manaakitanga (care and respect), kaitiakitanga (guardians of our mountains and environment), and whanaungatanga (connecting as whanau/family and people) are shared as ‘Love It, Live It, Share It’. We have a true passion for our guests, whanau, and whenua. You’ll have a chance to explore more about this during onboarding.

1. Joining an incredible international team of professional instructors, trainers, and coaches
2. Involved in group and private lessons, multi-day programmes, and performance workshops (relevant to your experience) with a focus on delivering high-value, high-quality experiences.
3. Progressing guests using NZSIA/SBINZ movement development guidelines. Our lessons and programmes focus on fun, progress, and adventure, emphasizing speed, terrain preference, competence, and confidence rather than just mechanics and skills.

5. Flexible and adaptable to meet the needs of the Leadership Team
6. Part of our wider mountain whanau, assisting with rentals, snow check-ins, guest queries, and other operational duties as required.
7. Motivated towards continuous development of your skiing and riding, engaging in daily training opportunities.
8. Aware that hours of work depend on weather, conditions, and business levels; while hours cannot be guaranteed, our scheduling aims to maximize your days.
