Leader Creek Fisheries

Profile Jobs

We are currently hiring Sockeye Salmon Processors for the 2023 summer salmon season.

As a salmon processor at Leader Creek Fisheries, your work can encompass a number of different activities and tasks.  Processors do everything from cleaning fish and trimming fillets to loading freezers and boxing the finished product. Your specific job as a processor will be determined by the quantity of fish we receive at the plant, our production capacity and schedule, and finally, your aptitude, abilities, and attitude.

What to expect:

Being a fish processor is not easy work. When the plant is running at full capacity you will be expected to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. You must have a strong work ethic, the discipline to get out of bed and get to work on time, and the desire to do the best you can each and every day. Some days you will be tired and have a bit of a cold; your muscles will ache and your feet will hurt. We need people who will work in spite of the discomfort. And while we do not need employees to arrive with any specific processing-related skills, we do need those who can learn quickly and are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

The Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run coincides well with most college and university summer break schedules.
