Fly Shop Employees/Juniour Guides

Here at Family Air and The Hook Up Fly Shop we all do a little bit of everything. Shop Staff are the people who keep everything going, from answering the phones, to fueling aircraft, to outfitting clients for trips. Things can get pretty hectic here and if you have trouble working in a fast paced environment this is not the job for you. We have housing available across from the shop if planning on coming up from the lower 48. If you want to get into guiding this is a great place to start,

Requirements

  • Customer Service Skills

  • A cool head under pressure
