    Doyon 4.6company rating

    Executive chef job in Alaska

    Kantishna Roadhouse (KRH) is a full-service, backcountry lodge located 90 miles inside Denali National Park. Due to the Denali Park Road closure, the lodge is accessible only by small aircraft, and employees should expect a truly remote, wilderness-based work environment. Because of this remoteness, staff are expected to live on-site for the entire season (approximately June 1 to September 15) with no ability to leave the park on days off. Employees may enjoy hiking and exploring the surrounding backcountry during their free time, but travel outside the park is not available. KRH operates with a small, close-knit team and hosts a limited number of guests, so every staff member plays a vital, hands-on role in daily lodge operations. Room and board are provided at no cost to employees. JOB SUMMARY: The Dinner Chef is responsible for planning, preparing, and overseeing the service of dinner for guests and employees at Kantishna Roadhouse. This role ensures efficient, cost-effective kitchen operations while maintaining exceptional standards of food quality, presentation, and safety at all times.

The nature of our business requires every team member to be adaptable and versatile, making each day an exciting opportunity to learn and grow. Due to the Denali Park Road closure, access to Kantishna Roadhouse is by small aircraft only, which means that staff is expected to remain in Denali National Park and Preserve for the duration of the season. PHYSICAL DEMANDS: An individual will be on their feet throughout their workday. The work requires routine walking, standing, bending, and carrying items weighing up to seventy-five (75) pounds without assistance.
