BAO’s FAQS:

BAO is a department made up of 3 different aspects – Cleaning/Janitorial, Roads & Parking + Snow Removal.

What are the daily tasks expected of me and where do I work?

Daily tasks vary depending on which aspect of BAO you are primarily working (and choose). You could be managing traffic, parking lots, shovelling snow or cleaning guest/employee areas.
While we meet in one location for a pre-shift meeting each day, we work across all base locations of Whistler Blackcomb, stretching over 8kms!

What is the schedule structure for BAO?

The best schedule – 4x10hr shifts with 3 days off a week (and in a row)!  We also have set schedules in place so you can plan your time off activities with ease.

What shifts are available with BAO?

6am – 4:30pm (winter) / 7am – 5:30pm (summer)
3pm – 1:30am (winter only. Cleaning/janitorial only)
5pm – 3:30am (winter only. Cleaning/janitorial only)

You’ve mentioned winter and summer separately – what’s the difference?

Winter we have a lot more demand on our department from a roads & parking and a snow clearing perspective. Lots of ski area = lots of people = lots of vehicles = lots of snow clearing!
Summer activities show a reduced demand on roads and parking (and no snow clearing) but that doesn’t mean the work stops – we clean buildings, have parking lots to manage, ensure outside grounds look great and the sense of arrival is on point!

Does this mean I’m working outside?

Shifts during the day, yes.
Shifts during the evening are focused primarily on cleaning – mostly inside.

Is there a uniform?

Yes! Depending on season, we provide you with polo shirts, work pants, mid-layer/jacket, hat/toque (winter also includes outdoor waterproof jacket and pants). You are expected to provide your own footwear.

What is the pay, perks and benefits?

Starting wage of $15.20 per hour. 1 Free meal with every shift. Staff housing options.
