If the rugged beauty of the remote B.C. coast is calling you, a unique recent job posting may be your way to answer it.
The Canadian Coast Guard recently launched a "selection process" for "assistant lightkeepers" in B.C.
The job posting isn't for a specific location, but rather "an inventory for future vacancies" at lighthouses in remote areas on the B.C. coast, according to the listing.
"As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment," the posting reads.
Those qualifications are fairly basic. Applicants must have experience operating and performing maintenance on mechanical and electrical equipment, experience performing routine maintenance on buildings and grounds, and experience using Microsoft Office.
No educational requirements are listed.
The job does come with some pretty specific conditions of employment, however.
