PWSAC's hatcheries are large scale production facilities that release approximately 600 million salmon smolt into Alaskan waters to benefit all fishing user groups and stabilize wild salmon stocks.

This position is located at a remote, off-the-grid facility in pristine Alaska wilderness (Prince William Sound). Lodging and food provided for temporary employees on site for the duration of employment. Due to the remoteness of the facilities, there is limited internet connectivity and very limited cell reception.

Entry level wage begins at $10/hr (DOE). Education in relevant field and previous fish or hatchery experience may qualify for higher Fisheries Technician levels.

Applicants chosen for hire are responsible for coordinating their own transportation to Cordova, Alaska.
