The majority of our positions are for seafood processors and the work they do is vital but there is a wide range of career opportunities at Trident. We also need to fill positions for welders, mechanics, safety and environmental professionals, to name a few examples.
Trident Seafoods is committed to the health and safety of our employees. We are therefore requiring every employee who works in our Alaska facilities and on our vessels to become vaccinated.
For those of you going to Alaska, we require you to be vaccinated before boarding our vessels or arriving in our processing communities. We will work with you to arrange for a vaccination. “If you have a circumstance that you feel would prevent you from being vaccinated, please contact Trident HR so that we can discuss whether an alternate accommodation is possible.”

Working in Alaska is a great adventure, but it is also very hard work. We work when there is fish. This could mean many long hours a day doing the same thing on your feet in a cold, wet environment. Expect to work 7 days a week, 16 hours a day but also know there may also be days with no work at all.
Trident provides:
Seafood processing is physically demanding, involves long hours, a cold, wet environment, and repetitive work. Please remember that there are no guaranteed work hours. When fish are available, you will be required to be ready and willing to work as directed.
Our shore plants offer dormitory style bunkhouses. Rooms are shared between 2-6 people. On our vessels, employees share small staterooms with 2-6 people in each room. Bathroom facilities are shared at all locations.
