About Skagway Mining Company

Skagway Mining Company (SMC) & Gold Rush Gifts (GRG), two Alaska-owned souvenir shops, are seeking seasonal employees for the 2022 cruise ship season in Skagway, Alaska. Jobs run from April 1 through mid-October. You do not have to be available for all of those dates.

Why Work here

If you ask any seasonal employee in Skagway, they will tell you that they work hard and play hard. It's what Skagway does.

This little town's population goes from approximately 800 people to about 3,000 with seasonal employees and has been described as "summer camp for adults!"

If you are looking for unforgettable memories in a gorgeous place while working hard during the day, join our team! We have two retail stores: Skagway Mining Company & Gold Rush Gifts. Both are fast-paced, high-volume stores.

Skagway Mining Company (SMC) is 5,000 square feet of shopping! We carry everything from $1.99 pooping moose key chains to $200 geode sculptures. Seriously, we have EVERYTHING in this store. Depending on the train schedule (the train station is across the street), we can have over 100 people shopping at one time, with all six registers active and people in line! But don't fret - it slows down between train stops!

Gold Rush Gifts (GRG) is two doors down from SMC and about half the size. With more than 60+ made in Alaskan companies, eight of those from Skagway, this store has a slightly more boutique feel than SMC but still has a high volume. GRG has more artwork, and employees will be trained and informed of each artist's work and information on selling points.

Housing is above the stores, so you don't have a commute!
