Seafood processing can be arduous and physical work.

It is commonly done in a damp, wet and cool environment. It resembles production line work and is fast paced. You will be required to stand for 3 hour intervals without a break. A very large percentage of our crews are college students and we have experienced return rates of students up to 45%. That is a great return rate and while it doesn’t happen every year it does speak to the suitability of the Ekuk experience for students.

We provide transportation from designated airports in the lower 48 to the Ekuk facility. We also provide 3 meals per day, lodging, bedding, raingear, boots, gloves and liners free of charge. Weekly laundry service is provided free of charge as well.

Not only can you make a good amount of money in a short period of time, you will have an experience to last a lifetime. This job is perfect for students who want to travel to Alaska and seek seasonal work or anyone looking for a new kind of adventure.
