What is seasonal seafood processing?

A Seasonal Seafood Processing job involves working in a seafood plant to clean, sort, package, and prepare seafood for distribution. These jobs are typically available during peak fishing seasons and require long hours, repetitive tasks, and working in cold, wet environments. No prior experience is usually required, but physical stamina and the ability to work as part of a team are important. Many positions provide housing and meals, making them a popular choice for temporary work.

Familiarity with food safety standards, basic processing equipment, and occasionally HACCP certification are beneficial.

Seasonal seafood processing jobs often involve working long shifts, sometimes 10–12 hours per day, depending on the volume of the catch and production schedules. The work is usually performed in chilled, wet environments to maintain product freshness, and employees may be required to stand for extended periods while performing repetitive tasks. Teams are structured to work collaboratively on processing lines, so effective teamwork and communication are important. Some companies provide on-site housing or meals for seasonal workers, making it easier for workers from outside the area. Overall, flexibility and a strong work ethic are important due to fluctuating workloads and the fast-paced nature of the seafood industry.

Job 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
• Experience with industrial ice machines using both freon and ammonia
• Must have the ability to understand and follow all instructions and safety rules.
• Must be able to take direction and work as part of a team
• 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.
ADA: EE Foods is committed to working with and providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.
EEOC: EE Foods is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, age, ancestry, or disability. Previously incarcerated, BIPOC, women and LGBTQ individuals are strongly encouraged to apply!
