• Full Time

• Year Round

• Retail & Customer Service

You love skiing and enjoy working with your hands. Whether you’ve spent time tuning your own skis, worked around rental gear, or are simply keen to learn something new, this is a chance to turn your interest in skiing into practical skills.

GearHub Sports is Fernie’s go to outdoor shop, locally owned, award-winning, and known for our service. We’re looking for a ski service tech to join our workshop team, keeping our rental fleet and customer skis in top shape throughout the winter season.

This is a year round or seasonal role and is all about hands-on work. Summer transitions into bike service. You’ll be tuning skis, maintaining rental equipment, helping keep the workshop organized, and making sure every pair leaving the shop is ready for the mountain. Experience is great, but we’re happy to train someone with the right attitude and an interest in learning the trade.

• Keen skier who enjoys working on their own gear

What you’ll do

• Tune customer skis and maintain our rental fleet throughout the season

• Inspect equipment and identify issues that need attention
• Help maintain rental skis, boots, and bindings so everything is ready for the next customer
• Follow workshop procedures and quality standards to ensure safe, consistent work
• Keep the workshop clean, organized, and ready for a busy day
• Learn new techniques, equipment, and service procedures as your skills develop

• Support other departments, primarily sales floor and rentals, and pitch in wherever needed in a busy, team-focused shop.

What we value most

• Genuine love of skiing and the outdoors
• Reliable, takes initiative, and pays attention to detail
• Enjoys hands-on work and takes pride in doing things properly

No formal shop experience? If you’ve spent time tuning your own skis, worked in a rental operation, or enjoy figuring out how things work, tell us about it. We can train the right person.

What you get

• Staff gear discount on all brands we carry and partner businesses T49 & GearHub Consignment
• Training provided and opportunities to develop your technical skills
• Opportunity to grow into a more senior technical role
