Quaco Museum is hiring for the 2026 summer season.
Are you interested in learning more about St. Martins and its fascinating history? Have you thought about passing that history on to others?

We are looking for individuals with that mindset for our 2026 season. We are a local not-for-profit organization, and because we depend on government grants to subsidize funding for staff, individuals applying must have the following qualifications (as per our grant obligations):
• Be a resident of New Brunswick (have lived in New Brunswick for at least six months) or be a resident of a First Nation community in New Brunswick; and,
• Be eligible to work in Canada (must have a valid Social Insurance Number).
We offer a competitive wage and are looking for people from the end of June until the first week in September. These positions offer 35h/week, and on-the-job training is provided. We are accepting students (high school – must be 15 yrs. old and beyond) and mature adults.

We are accepting resumes at [email protected]
