Information at a Glance

Job Description

Designated by UNESCO as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, Olympic consists of several distinct ecosystems. The over 70 miles of rugged and beautiful pacific coastline, the wild, magical forests, the glacier-capped mountains and the calm lakes, make for an almost impossibly diverse and wide range of natural beauty.

Lake Quinault Lodge is one such place. Built in 1926 and sitting above the shoreline of Lake Quinault with an expansive lawn out to the lake, the Lodge retains the turn of the century wooded feeling, with a warm and welcoming nature. The lodge includes an indoor pool, a sauna, a gift shop, and game rooms.

Lake Crescent Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula in northwest Washington. This magnificent and charming turn of the century resort was built in 1915 and remains an ideal base camp for enjoying Olympic National Park. Day hikes, bike rides, fishing, and canoeing are highly recommended and great ways to explore.

On the north end lies Log Cabin Resort, a rustic retreat for seekers of incredible views, fun beach days, and the immersion in the natural world. These cabins hark back to the days of summer camp, with lakeside cabins nestled in old growth cedars and firs. A variety of accommodations are available.

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resorts are surrounded by towering evergreens along the Sol Duc River in a picturesque valley. In addition to the pools, Sol Duc hosts a restaurant, a gift shop, and a convenience store.

As a General Manager you will plan, manage, and guide multiple contracted services for a client normally generating $2-15M+ in revenue to meet operating and financial goals, client objectives, and customer needs.

Depending on the client, services can include food service, facility support, custodial services, retail, lodging, transportation, and more. Our General Managers are capable operations managers who lead a team to provide excellent service to our clients. With knowledge of the client’s business, positive relationship building skills, financial savvy, and a focus on safety, our team makes a difference every day.
