The terminal management team here is dynamic and forward thinking, striving to become better in every aspect of our business. It’s exciting to be part of a ever growing terminal in which you find lots of opportunities for personal- and professional growth, supportive learning environment and a lot of chances to prove oneself. I have been working and travelling a lot across the globe but Prince Rupert is unique in many aspects. The people within this active community are the friendliest I have ever met, everyone one greets each other on the street; a great place for young families. This town is hands down one of the top places in the world to live, when it comes to stunning wilderness surroundings; access to real adventures; affordable living with a short commute, and all that only 1.5 hrs flight away from Vancouver.
