❄️ Executive Chef — Back River Gold Mine Camp, Nunavut, Canada

🍽 Opportunity Kitikmeot Camp Solutions is hiring an Executive Chef for the Back River Gold District camp in Nunavut — genuine high Arctic territory, reached by covered charter flight from Edmonton or Yellowknife rather than any road. It's a 28-days-on, 14-days-off roster, with the camp's other kitchen roles paying $19.50–$38 an hour as a benchmark for the operation's pay scale. 👨‍🍳 Role - Run the kitchen operation for a remote Arctic mining camp under a 28/14 FIFO roster - Oversee a kitchen team including cooks, bakers and support staff - Maintain FoodSafe/HACCP compliance for a high-volume camp catering operation - Keep a remote workforce fed through genuinely extreme Arctic conditions 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis There's remote, and there's Nunavut remote — Back River sits in the Kitikmeot Region of the high Canadian Arctic, and getting there means a covered charter flight, not a drive. The camp's other kitchen roles are paid $19.50–$38 an hour, which gives a useful benchmark for what Executive Chef compensation likely sits above, though the specific figure isn't published for this role. What is published is solid: flights covered, a private camp room rather than shared bunks, and extended health and dental on top of the standard camp amenities (wifi, gym, laundry). For a chef who's done Australian or Antarctic remote-camp work and wants the Canadian Arctic as the next chapter, this is a legitimate, well-supported posting. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 6.9/10 ✅ Best Fit - Executive Chefs with high-volume, remote-camp catering experience - Those who want genuine high Arctic territory on their CV, not just "remote Canada" - Chefs comfortable with a 28-days-on, 14-days-off FIFO roster - Candidates who value covered flights and a private camp room over shared bunk accommodation - Anyone building a career path through remote/FIFO catering across multiple continents - Chefs holding or willing to obtain FoodSafe/HACCP and relevant first aid certification
