Typical schedules are two weeks on/two weeks off, although rotations vary by project. We offer both regular and fill-in opportunities.

Depending on the assignment, you may work independently and may be on call while at the project site. Work can include weekends and holidays during your scheduled rotation, travel by small aircraft, and exposure to Alaska’s changing weather and terrain. In return, rotational work provides something traditional EMS schedules often cannot: extended, predictable periods away from work.
