Wilderness Seaplanes was formerly the seaplane division of Pacific Coastal Airlines. We are now operating as a separate company, but we are still closely associated with Pacific Coastal Airlines. We operate 2 Grumman Gooses and 3 Beavers. We provide year round service to the Central Coast from Port Hardy and Bella Bella.
We have a competitive pay and benefits program and we offer travel privileges to our staff and families.
Currently we are looking for a Full Time year round VFR Dispatcher in Port Hardy, BC.

We have vacancy now and we will be filling the position as soon as possible, so, if you think you have the right attributes to work with us on our wild Westcoast, please submit your application to [email protected] no later than June 6 2025.
