Seafood Processor

The salmon season begins in mid to late June and can last until the first week of August.

Red Salmon Cannery is a division of Canfisco group and is located in Naknek, a village in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. Bristol Bay is known as the “Red Salmon Capital of the World”.

Each first-year processor will earn $17 per hour, and $25.50 per hour for overtime worked. During the peak of the season fishing is heavy and our facility operates 24 hours a day. At this point you may work up to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no days off.  This could provide a chance to work lots of overtime when the plant is in full production!

There may be several days or weeks of full production, and there may be several days with little or no production.  Wild fisheries are not always easy to predict.

We are looking for hard-working employees who have the commitment and mindset to push through long, hard days.
