No phone calls at this stage please.

What we offer you:

We understand the importance of a healthy work-life-recreate balance, so we always try to be flexible with hours so that you can enjoy all that the Sea to Sky corridor offers - just as long as the work gets done. Our office environment is relaxed and informal - you'll have your very own desk, workstation (Mac or PC), potted-plant, and access to George, our lean-mean-toasty-making-machine. See our flickr stream for an idea of office life.

Beyond providing a great working environment we offer a competitive salary (commensurable with experience) and a health benefits package for full-time employees.
