  • Ability to work safely in environments that may include moving machinery, ammonia systems, wet floors, high noise levels, and forklift traffic
  • Ability to work long hours, including seven days per week during peak production seasons
  • Consistent and reliable attendance is an essential function of this position

Working Conditions
This position requires the ability to work long hours in wet, cold, and physically demanding conditions. Employees are regularly exposed to moving mechanical parts and frequently exposed to wet or humid environments and extreme cold. Occasional exposure may include elevated work areas, fumes or airborne particles, hazardous chemicals, outdoor weather conditions, electrical hazards, vibration, and high noise levels.
Transportation, Room, and Board
NPSI provides transportation from designated travel hubs (typically Seattle, WA and Anchorage, AK) to the worksite and return transportation for employees who complete the season. Room and board are provided for employees who remain employed through seasonal layoff.
Employees who leave prior to the end of the season may be responsible for their own return transportation and will be charged $15 per day for room and board.
Drug-Free Workplace

The use, possession, or distribution of any non-medically authorized drugs-including marijuana, medical or otherwise-is strictly prohibited. Employees may be subject to random, post-accident, or for-cause drug testing. NPSI reserves the right to search all plant areas without notice to enforce this policy.
Important Considerations
Cell phone service is limited in remote areas of Alaska. Pay phones are available on site. GCI phones are generally the most reliable in Naknek, with intermittent service from T-Mobile and Verizon. Limited access to a desktop computer and Wi-Fi is provided for basic email and internet use.

  • Payroll is processed biweekly
  • The workday is defined as a calendar day
  • The workweek runs Monday through Sunday

Employment with NPSI is at-will, meaning either the employee or NPSI may terminate employment at any time, with or without notice or cause. This job posting does not constitute an employment contract. Only the President or CEO may authorize a written agreement altering the at-will employment relationship.
