Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation (PWSAC) is a private, non-profit hatchery association founded in 1974 by a local commercial fishermen’s organization to optimize Alaska’s wild salmon resources. PWSAC produces hatchery-born, ocean-raised wild salmon for the commercial, sport, personal use, and subsistence fisheries in the Prince William Sound and Copper River regions.

PWSAC is seeking a Salmon Hatchery Logistics Support Receiving Clerk—a key player in sustaining Alaska’s thriving salmon hatcheries. This position is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to be part of something vital, ensuring that remote hatchery sites receive the critical supplies they need to operate effectively.

No experience? No problem! We provide on-the-job training for those eager to learn. What we need are individuals with strong attention to detail, reliability, and a conscientious approach to work. If you enjoy hands-on tasks and being an essential part of a logistical network, this is the perfect role for you!

Why This Role is Important

• You’ll help transport essential supplies like fish food and equipment to hatchery locations, directly contributing to Alaska’s salmon population.
• Your work will support the sustainability of local fisheries, ecosystems, and communities dependent on these operations.
• You’ll gain valuable experience in freight handling, pallet building, and regulatory compliance while becoming proficient with industry-standard tools and techniques.

What You’ll Do

• Build pallets and work under CFR 49, 29, and other regulatory guidelines.
