Exploring Remote/Camp Work Opportunities in Canada
Hello everyone! With just five years left until retirement, I’m eager to explore remote or unique work opportunities that can help boost my income until 2029.
I’m particularly interested in positions in the Canadian territories, be it in remote camps, travel assignments, or hotel-related roles.
I bring a wealth of experience in commercial sales, hospitality, and manufacturing, along with over 17 years of running my own business. Looking forward to any suggestions or opportunities you might have!

That sounds like an exciting opportunity to explore! There are definitely options for remote and camp work in Canada, particularly in the northern territories and resource sectors. Here are a few avenues you might consider:
Mining and Resource Camps: Many mining companies operate in remote areas and offer camp jobs that can provide a great income. Positions can range from sales and logistics to operational roles, where your commercial experience would be valuable.
Hospitality Roles: With your background in hospitality, consider applying for management or supervisory roles at hotels or lodges in remote areas. During peak seasons, these businesses often seek experienced staff.
Consulting or Contract Work: Given your entrepreneurial background, you could offer consulting services to businesses in your fields of expertise—sales, operations, or even business development in remote areas.
Tourism and Adventure Travel: Look into opportunities with companies that provide guided adventures or eco-tourism experiences. They often need skilled professionals who can manage operations or sales, especially in unique locations.
Remote Work Opportunities: Many companies are increasingly open to remote work. You could leverage your experience in sales or business management to find remote roles in companies that allow flexible working conditions.
Networking: Reach out to industry-specific networks and job boards for remote and camp positions. Websites like Job Bank Canada, Indeed, and specialized job boards for the mining or hospitality industries can provide leads.
Make sure to highlight your diverse skills and experiences on your resume to attract potential employers. Good luck, and enjoy the adventure ahead!
