River Guides are Outdoor Hospitality Professionals

If you desire a career in the whitewater industry while working in a dynamic and creative team environment and think that our company could be a great fit, we encourage you to apply to work for us. We hire, on average 2-3 new guides per year, and hire and train 2-4 whitewater and photography interns. We conduct a guide training session which is quite different than the brief introductions that are out there. As a result, typically, we hire guides who have previous experience. First year guides can sign on to Triad as interns for their first season and learn as they go. Eventually we work out first year guides into the rotation on our easier sections of river and eventually into the more challenging runs. We work with multi-day expedition companies to find the best guides available, and can offer you a future in the industry that will grow with you as you progress as a professional guide. If you are interested in working for Triad River Tours or its affiliate outfitter, Mountain River Outfitters, please send a resume and statement of purpose to us through the contact us form on this website. We will return your message as soon as those documents have been reviewed.
