Job Description

Note : THERE IS NO HOUSING PROVIDED FOR THIS PISITION. This position is only for locals who live in Sitka, Alaska .

Positions will be filled as jobs become available. Not all applicants will be contacted for additional screening. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

Seafood processors perform a variety of manual labor tasks. Once the fishing fleet delivers seafood to our docks, our processing employees move the product through our production line until it is shipped in bulk to customers and cold storage facilities worldwide.

The Sitka plant, known as Sitka Sound Seafoods (SSS), operates 12 months a year, with peak production during the summer months.

Job duties may include, but are not limited to, offloading product from vessels; sorting, butchering, cleaning, weighing, cutting, filleting, trimming, inspecting, and boxing various seafood products; operating plant machinery, a forklift or pallet jack; inspecting product; loading product, boxes, pallets, or carts of product into or out of freezers or refrigerated vans; preparing packaging materials; guiding product into automated machinery: and cleaning or sanitizing the work area.

To preserve our food products at the peak of freshness, our plant has day and night shifts. Employees are assigned to 12-hour shifts, seven days a week . There may be several days or weeks of full production, and there may be several days with little or no production. Wild fisheries are not always easy to predict.

Wages and Benefits

$17.00/regular hour; $25.50/overtime hour

In Alaska, employees are paid overtime after eight regular hours in a day, and after 40 regular hours in a week. With minimal onsite expenses, and hopefully a large fish run, this is often a great way to make money in a relatively short period of time. NPSI recognizes several holidays during the year. Hourly employees are paid at their overtime rate for all hours worked on the holiday.

NPSI offers a generous employer matching 401(k) retirement plan, and you are eligible to participate on day one! We also offer affordable, traditional health insurance benefits that include medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage.

  • Physically evacuate the area in a swift manner in case of an emergency.

Employees are responsible for their own transportation to and from the plant. The point of hire is Kodiak.

No Tolerances

North Pacific Seafoods prohibits the use, sale, or possession of ANY drug not medically authorized. We do not allow the use or possession of marijuana, medical or otherwise, at our plants. Employees may be asked to submit to random, post-accident, or for cause testing at any time, and NPSI reserves the right to search all areas of the plant without advance notice to maintain the no tolerance policy.

Important Considerations

This work can be hard, monotonous, and boring. There is no way to predict how much work will be available since these are wild fisheries.

Payroll Information

Our processor wage plan provides pay increases based on the total number of hours you work for our company. The first increase (Tier II) is after 500 hours. This means if you work longer seasons, or choose to come back multiple years, your hours accumulate towards these pay increases. Pay periods are biweekly. Our workday is defined as the calendar day, and our work week runs from Monday through Sunday. Employees are paid on the Friday following the end of the biweekly pay period. We encourage employees to sign up for direct deposit, but you may elect to receive paper checks instead.
