Thredbo Jobs


Life in the Snowies

We’re all about work-life balance and Thredbo encourages employees to live as passionately outside of work as they do at work. Thredbo is a winter playground for skiing and snowboarding, but there is so much more to offer. Thredbo doesn’t go to sleep once the snow melts, but ramps up with mountain biking and hiking.

But first, let’s fill you in on a few of the finer details about where to find a place to live and how you will get to work! Generally, winter rental properties are advertised from January/February each year, and summer rentals from August/September for both Jindabyne and Thredbo.
