Thank you for your interest in working at Leader Creek Fisheries. We employ approximately 200 processors during our herring season which runs from late April through mid May, and up to 400 processors during the salmon season runs from mid-June until late-July (or early August)

We hire a diverse mix of hardworking and motivated men and women from across the country and around the world. The work can be difficult: conditions are often cold, wet and monotonous, and the hours can extend up to 16 per day for weeks on end. This is not a job for everyone but it has its rewards. When the plant is running at full capacity you can expect to work seven days per week from 14 to 16 hours per day. This means the average employee will work about 100 hours per week during peak periods: 40 hours of this is paid at the regular time rate and 60 hours is paid at time and a half (regular rate times 1.5). This can add up quickly. What is more, at Leader Creek you have very few expenses.

Room and board are provided at no expense, and we provide airfare to and from Anchorage (or Kodiak depending on your point of hire) for all employees who complete their contract. You can find more specific information about what you can expect (and what is expected of you) at Leader Creek by visiting the links to your right.

Thank you again for your interest.
