Description

E&E Foods is in search of a seasonal plant engineer for our Coffee Point salmon support plant in Egegik, AK. Primary responsibilities include operation and maintenance of powerhouse, as well as operation and maintenance of the refrigeration plant, consisting of Buus and Northstar ice machines, as well as a 3,500 sq ft cold storage. This role requires patience, flexibility, and a desire to work as hard as the situation demands. Must have the ability to understand and follow all instructions and safety rules. Self-directed, well organized and comfortable in a diverse living and working environment. Willing to work in a remote location under, at times, challenging conditions.

Requirements

RESPONSIBILITIES:


Ensure the successful operation and maintenance of all generating facilities.

Maintain and assist in operation of the ice machines and plant cold storage.

Collaborate with plant management.

Troubleshoot electrical and control systems.

Assist facility maintenance manager with maintenance inventory.  

Other Duties as assigned.


QUALIFICATIONS:


3+ years' experience in powerhouse, refrigeration, generator, hydraulic and pneumatic experience.

Experience with Cummins and John Deere generators and diesel engines

Ability and willingness to work in a remote area of Alaska and work in a seafood processing plant for several months. This includes working in inclement weather and in a seafood production plant 

Ability to work long hours 12- 16 hours per day, seven days a week, during the production seasons.


SALARY & BENEFITS:

The starting wage is $26-$32/hour DOE

Free room and board


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.
