To preserve our food products at the peak of freshness, our plants operate 24-hours a day. Employees are assigned to 16-hour shifts, seven days a week. You may be assigned to swing or night shifts. There may be several days or weeks of full production, and there may be several days with little or no production. There is no way to predict how much work will be available since this is a wild fishery, and it is important to understand that work hours are dependent on fish.
In Alaska, employees are paid overtime after eight regular hours in a day, and after 40 regular hours in a week.
NPSI provides transportation from the nearest major airport to the work location and back if you complete the season.
Employees live on site in communal bunkhouses with shared facilities, rooms are assigned based on gender identity, bed linens are provided. The cookhouse prepares hearty and nutritious meals and snacks. The housekeeping staff cleans and sanitizes restrooms and common areas. Laundry is done for employees once a week.
With no onsite expenses, and hopefully a large fish run, this is often a great way to make money in a relatively short period of time. There are additional opportunities for pay such as referral bonuses.
