Snow Operations Manager — Seasonal

Whiteout Site ServicesCashmere, Washington

Employment season: October 15 through March 15Primary winter operations: November 1 through March 15Position type: Seasonal, on-call, variable hours

Whiteout Site Services is hiring a hands-on Snow Operations Manager to coordinate snow and ice operations in Leavenworth, Cashmere, Wenatchee, and the surrounding Wenatchee Valley.

This position combines limited remote operational management with active fieldwork. The ideal candidate understands local winter weather, can turn a forecast into an effective service plan, and is experienced operating both snowplow trucks and skid steers.

This is a weather-dependent position, not a guaranteed 40-hour-per-week job. The successful candidate must maintain a flexible winter schedule, remain reliably reachable, and be able to meet agreed response times when winter weather develops.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Weather and Routing

• Monitor and analyze weather affecting Leavenworth, Cashmere, Wenatchee, and the surrounding Wenatchee Valley
• Identify localized weather patterns, elevation differences, temperature trends, precipitation timing, and changing storm conditions
• Determine anticipated needs for pretreatment, plowing, sidewalk service, post-treatment, and snow relocation
• Plan routes and adjust priorities, staffing, equipment, and start times based on forecasted and actual conditions
• Continue monitoring conditions during active events and modify the operational plan when needed

Crew Coordination

• Assign operators, trucks, equipment, and service routes
• Communicate event timing, route assignments, service expectations, and changing conditions to the crew
• Maintain routine communication with ownership, employees, and customers as authorized
• Help ensure operators report for assigned events and complete their routes
• Assist with onboarding and training new shovelers, plow-truck drivers, and equipment operators
• Confirm that new operators understand their routes, equipment, safety expectations, and assigned responsibilities

Field Operations

• Operate snowplow trucks, skid steers, and other snow equipment when needed
• Assist with plowing, de-icing, snow relocation, and other winter services
• Inspect properties for completeness, hazards, damage, or missed service areas
• Correct or coordinate the correction of incomplete or substandard work
• Help prepare and inspect trucks, plows, spreaders, sprayers, and other winter equipment
• Identify equipment problems and promptly coordinate repairs or notify ownership
• Complete required service, material, equipment, and incident documentation

Position Scope

This position reports directly to ownership and is focused on winter operations.

Payroll, bookkeeping, billing, contract pricing, and other ownership-level business functions are not part of this position.

Required Qualifications

• Previous professional snowplowing experience
• Previous skid steer operating experience
• Previous crew-leadership or management experience
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Ability to pass a motor vehicle record review
• Ability to safely lift and carry up to 75 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Strong communication, organization, and decision-making skills
• Ability to use text, email, weather applications, maps, routing tools, and digital service records
• Reliable phone service
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions as conditions change
• Ability to work nights, early mornings, weekends, and holidays when winter weather requires
• Ability to work safely outdoors in severe winter conditions
• Reliable transportation and the ability to meet agreed call-out times

Preferred Qualifications

• Residence in or near Cashmere, Leavenworth, Wenatchee, or the surrounding service area
• Strong knowledge of local roads, weather patterns, elevations, and winter driving conditions
• Experience managing commercial snow-removal routes
• Experience training snowplow drivers or equipment operators
• Experience with liquid de-icing, salt application, or application-rate equipment
• Mechanical knowledge and basic equipment-troubleshooting ability
• Experience operating loaders, excavators, or similar heavy equipment
• CDL or previous commercial-vehicle experience

Schedule and Availability

The position begins October 15 with pre-season route planning, equipment preparation, site familiarization, and employee training.

Reliable winter availability is required from November 1 through March 15. Hours will vary significantly depending on weather. Operations may occur overnight, early in the morning, on weekends, or on holidays, sometimes with limited advance notice.

This position may be compatible with other employment or responsibilities, provided they do not prevent the employee from meeting the agreed winter availability and response requirements.

Compensation

Compensation depends on experience and includes:

• Guaranteed monthly management stipend for routine remote operational responsibilities and seasonal availability
• Additional hourly pay for scheduled training, equipment preparation, property inspections, field supervision, plowing, de-icing, skid-steer operation, and other assigned fieldwork
• Overtime paid when applicable

The monthly management stipend covers routine remote responsibilities such as weather monitoring, route planning and adjustments, crew coordination, operational calls and texts, and service follow-up. These routine remote duties are not paid again as separate hourly work.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced snow operator who can lead people, anticipate changing conditions, and take responsibility for getting the work completed properly.

The right candidate will be organized and dependable, communicate clearly, protect customer property, hold operators accountable, and work alongside the crew when conditions require it.

• Your professional snow-removal experience
• The types of plow trucks and equipment you have operated
