Mount Waddingto A, BC | Are you looking to work alongside a creative and dedicated team of hospitality professionals on BC’s wild coast? Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort is currently accepting applications for the year-round senior management role of Operations Manager, Food, Beverage and Accommodations.

The stunning backdrop of the Broughton Archipelago sets the stage for talented hospitality professionals to create remarkably unique and intimate dining experiences for our guests, where the Culinary and Food & Beverage teams collaborate to bring the senses of the wild, natural area into all aspects of our craftsmanship. Equally as significant at Nimmo Bay is our guest accommodations – our guests consistently recognize us for our luxurious ambiance, innovative services, immaculate cleanliness, and exceptional comfort.
This role demands a strong leader capable of working in a remote wilderness location while integrating culinary excellence with operational efficiency, ensuring high standards in both guest experiences and team management. The responsibilities span from strategic planning and training to daily operations and guest relations, all while maintaining a deep alignment with Nimmo Bay’s vision, values and culture. The position requires a proactive, collaborative approach, with a focus on enhancing both team performance and guest satisfaction.

This year round, salaried role is based at the resort for the majority of the operating season from May through October, with periodic scheduled time off away from the resort. During the off season from November through April, work will be executed from your home office, preferably located in the BC lower mainland or on Vancouver Island.

Compensation: $90,000 per annum (including guaranteed incentives/bonus pay)

Participation in the Company’s group benefits program
Participation in the Company’s travel reimbursement program
Participation in the Company’s RRSP matching program after 3 yr’s service

Team-building activities, from fun outings to volunteer events, help strengthen bonds and foster a sense of community. Support is abundant, with mentorship in place to help everyone thrive.

“As the Operations Manager of Food, Beverage and Accommodation at Nimmo Bay, I have had the incredible opportunity to grow and thrive over the past six seasons. What began as a summer job after my move from Japan, evolved into a deeply fulfilling chapter in my life. Working alongside the inspiring owners Fraser and Becky and an amazing team of talented professionals, I’ve faced challenges and celebrated wins while collaboratively creating unforgettable guest experiences in the awe-inspiring wilderness.

My time here has allowed me to hone my skills in leadership, management, and culinary excellence, all while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. From Sous Chef to Executive Chef to Food and Beverage Manager to Operations Manager, each day and season brought new adventures and challenges—from curating unique dining experiences to building lasting relationships with our guests and staff. The past three seasons have been particularly transformative as I stepped out of my comfort zone, managing large teams and stepping away from being hands-on in a professional kitchen environment.

The encouragement and support I received from the Nimmo team has been life-changing. I am profoundly grateful for the guidance and mentorship from every team member, contractor, and guest, especially from Fraser and Becky, whose trust and belief pushed me to my limits and helped shape my growth.

For anyone considering a position here, know that you will join a passionate team dedicated to excellence in hospitality and evolution, surrounded and inspired by the unique beauty of this place. I am so proud to have been part of this journey, and am excited to pass the torch to someone who is keen to rise to the challenge and bring their passions and expertise in hospitality to the table.” — Linnea Letourneau
