Nature of Work:
Seafood processors perform a variety of tasks that can include sorting, cutting and cleaning, grading, packing and cleanup. Much of the work is repetitive and tedious. Some work can be very strenuous such as stacking cases of frozen product and pushing freezer racks or carts of fresh and frozen product. Working conditions vary with the assignment, but are generally wet, cold and noisy.

If you have any doubts at all, it is in your best interest not to apply for this type of work. People with back or wrist problems should not apply.

We provide aprons, gloves, liners, and hairnets at no charge. Any required safety equipment including safety glasses and ear protection will also be provided.
Transportation:
You will need reliable personal or public transportation to ensure arriving on time for your daily scheduled shift.
