MEC is expanding!
Join us on this new adventure.
We’re currently looking for new staffers to join our team in our new location in Nanaimo.
MEC is more than a store. We’re a hub for the outdoor community, a leader in sustainability, and a place where you can be yourself. People come to us to try new things and plan new adventures – and as a General Manager, you’ll be there to lead our teams to make it all happen.
Members (what we call customers) visit us for gear and advice on hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, watersports, snowsports and travel. You’ll manage a team of people who support our members in planning everything from dream trips to weekend getaways, and first-timers to outdoor experts.
You’ll also have some pretty incredible coworkers who might just become future activity buddies; we asked staff what their favorite thing was about working for MEC, and the overwhelming answer was “the people.”

As a General Manager, you’ll make MEC a great place to visit and work at. You’ll manage store operations, support MEC’s strategic direction, and deliver on business objectives that include exceptional member satisfaction levels. You’ll play a key role in building a high-performing crew of staffers and an engaging culture, and are accountable for results. If you love the outdoors, leading teams and connecting with people, this is the role for you.
