That's Kicking Horse Café. From lake days and trail adventures to powder turns and family time, we want you finishing your shift with energy to spare and time to make the most of life in the Columbia Valley. YOU’LL LIKE IT HERE IF … You want a stable job that fuels your big-mountain, small-town lifestyle. You’re reliable, hands-on and take pride in doing things right. You want to work somewhere people, not just output, matter. You love coffee. Period. You’ve got your crew’s back. You show up daily with respect and care for others. You care about making an impact.

ASSETS: Food Safe Level 1 or 2 certification. Coffee experience, including latte art, brewing methods, espresso calibrations, and knowledge of flavour profiles.

This is a full-time, permanent position on our Cafe team, working an average of 40 hours per week with a paid half-hour lunch on 8-hour shifts. We will also consider candidates looking for part-time work – don’t let this stop you from applying! The hourly rate for this role ranges from $19.00 - $23.64 per hour, depending on experience, and is eligible for tips. Shifts can start as early as 6 AM and run as late as 5:30 PM. Our Café is open seven days a week during the summer, with days off occurring during the week. In the shoulder season, days off typically fall on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when the Café is closed. Our busiest days are often weekends and holidays, so availability for these shifts is required. THE GOOD STUFF When individuals thrive, communities thrive. And we are here to help that happen with our benefits and programs: Extended medical, dental and vision coverage, with $2,000 flexible paramedical services coverage, EFAP, and a $700 annual Wellness Allowance. Damn good discounts on coffee beans and food. Our Dream Fund provides financial funding to put towards community projects. Our Green Commuting program pays employees up to $3.00 per day for choosing a green commute to work. We provide uniforms and an allowance to cover costs for work footwear and pants. Our Growth Grant gives employees access to non-repayable funding to pursue career-building learning that supports growth at the Horse or beyond. 4 weeks of paid vacation after one year of work, plus get a paid day off to celebrate your birthday. WHY THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT Our flagship Café is one of a kind. As the home of Canada's #1 selling whole bean coffee, it's where our brand comes to life, one cup, one meal, and one guest experience at a time. More and more people are making the trip to sip kick-ass coffee, enjoy incredible food, and soak up the mountain café atmosphere. That's why we're looking for more awesome humans to join the team. For 30 years, we've been roasting coffee in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. For over a decade, we've been serving it in a café that's become a destination in its own right. It's remote, a little unconventional, and exactly how we like it. We don’t cut corners. We don’t do average. And we definitely don’t do half-assed. From how we source our beans to how we treat our people, we’re all in. What We Value Do What’s Right. It’s not always neat and tidy. It means taking care of people, the planet and the business. No posturing, no greenwashing, just grown-up conversations and real accountability. Do It All With Love. Love? Buck yeah, Love! It’s our not-so-secret ingredient. We care deeply about the work we do, the people we work with, and the impact we have. That love shows up in every cup. Be Remarkable. Every now and then, we crank the dial past ten. We’re not here to play it safe or follow the crowd. We’re here to break patterns, defy expectations, and drop a few jaws along the way. If it’s forgettable, it’s not for us. Cut the Bullshit. It’s about systems that work without waste, kindness without drama and root-cause thinking over quick fixes. When we cut through noise, we make space for what matters: trust, clarity, and meaningful progress. Never Half-Ass It. We’re on a mission to annihilate mediocrity. It’s about craftsmanship, care, and commitment. It’s about creating something we’re proud of, every time. SOUND LIKE YOUR CUPPA? APPLY. Create your account with our candidate portal (through Get Hired), answer some questions, and submit your resume. SPIRIT OF LOVE Love means welcoming everyone to ensure an inclusive place for all. We seek team members from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures.
