THE WORK ENVIRONMENT is weather dependent: ranging from warm and sunny to cold, windy and wet. Working outdoors in a remote environment is not an experience for everyone, and candidates should understand their limitations. People who struggle with mobility should consider employment in another department or a different industry.
NATURE & HOURS OF WORK: The season runs from Mid-June to End of July. Hours and days of work are entirely dependent upon the Alaska Department of Fish & Game’s announced fishing openings, which are determined by pre-/mid-season predictions and actual fish movement. While we can't guarantee any definite number of hours, when the fishers are fishing, we are buying - this requires working on a shifting, tidal schedule and can run anywhere from nothing to more than sixteen hours per day, seven days a week.
LIVING CONDITIONS: Our seafood processing facilities are a very remote part in Alaska. Housing is dormitory-style, and you may share a room with up to 3 other people. There are no health care options readily accessible. There is no cellphone signal and limited internet available. Communication is very limited.
