WHAT'S THE JOB?
The Administrative Assistant is the on-site hub for documentation, scheduling, commissary operations, and communications, ensuring that camp operations run smoothly. This role supports the Lodge Manager, Operations Manager, Chef, and Housekeeping by coordinating crew rotations, maintaining rooming lists, compiling reports, processing purchasing and invoices, and ensuring HSEQ documentation is complete and current.

• Run and manage the camp commissary/canteen: set hours, merchandise displays, accurate pricing, and excellent customer service.
• Operate POS and handle cash/card transactions; perform daily cash-out and reconciliation; prepare deposit logs and petty-cash summaries.
• Manage vending machines: restock to par, clear jams, conduct basic troubleshooting, log meter reads, reconcile cash, and coordinate vendor service calls.

Physical Demands:

• Extended periods of standing, walking, and on-site presence in remote locations.
• Ability to lift, carry, and move items up to 40-50 lbs.
