Our company starts hiring in mid June and continues until all positions

Federal regulations require all employees to provide documents that
prove their identity and eligibility to work in the United States.

During the summer we have about 190 processing positions to fill and a
total of 200 to 250 employees. Our plant does stay open for fall and
winter fisheries and there is work available through November.

approximately 12,000 people. The City of Ketchikan offers a number of
grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, banks, a mall, a movie
theater, a post office and other shopping and recreational facilities.
Work Environment:
Employees work around and with hundreds of thousands of
fish. Employees spend most of their time processing fish for fresh and
frozen shipments and sales. Fish processing plants have a very cold and
wet environment, there is lots of fish blood, guts and water on the
floor which is constantly wet and slick. If you are offended by fish
blood, guts or the sight, feel or smell of fish this would not be a job
for you.
Our employees are required to fulfill any Company, Federal and State
regulations pertaining to both safety and personal health requirements.
For example the Federal Food & Drug regulations require that all
employees must wear a head covering at all times while processing, as
you will be working with food for human consumption. If you have facial
hair, it is required that you wear a beard net at all times. Lots of
people choose to shave to avoid wearing beard nets.
Most employees start on the processing line cleaning fish. This requires
hours of standing and repetitive motion. Later employees may be moved to
other areas as they are needed. Hours worked can vary from eight to
twelve hours a day, seven days a week. The working area in the
processing plant can be noisy, busy and constantly changing.
Our employees must have a good attitude, and a willingness to
cooperate with fellow employees. It is important to have the ability to
follow instructions with a positive attitude. Since we work under
various deadlines it is very important that our employees show up on
time and have regular attendance.
Transportation Information:
Employees must provide their own way to Ketchikan, Alaska. Travel
 assistance
may be offered to returning employees in the form of an advance and must
be made personally through the Human Resource Department.
