As a guide at Green Dog Svalbard, you will have a workday unlike any other. You will guide guests through the Arctic landscape, share your knowledge of Svalbard, and build a close relationship with your own team of 26 dogs. This is as much a lifestyle as it is a job.

What We Offer

• Responsibility for your own dog team of 26 dogs.
• The opportunity to rent accommodation near the kennel for as long as you work with us.
• A workplace surrounded by Arctic nature, mountains, glaciers, and wilderness.
• An international team with colleagues from different parts of the world.
• A daily life filled with outdoor experiences and new challenges.

Green Dog Svalbard has a staff of around 15 employees throughout the year. Many people come here intending to stay for one year but end up staying much longer. There is something special about life among the dogs, the wilderness, and the community that turns what was meant to be an adventure into a home.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience with sled dogs and dog sledding.
• Experience as a guide and a passion for sharing knowledge with guests.
• Experience driving vehicles with trailers in demanding winter conditions.
• Strong English skills, both spoken and written.
• Comfortable working outdoors in all kinds of weather.
• Enjoys physical work and is not afraid to get their hands dirty.
• A team player who enjoys working closely with both people and animals and wants to be part of an international team and life in the Arctic.

The job is physically demanding, and the polar night can be mentally challenging. In return, you will have the opportunity to live and work in the High Arctic alongside more than 250 dogs and an international team. You will meet people from all over the world, experience the midnight sun and northern lights up close, and gain memories and experiences that will last a lifetime.

Does this sound like the opportunity for you? Send us your application in English, your CV, a photo, and two references. We look forward to hearing from you!
