Where we are located: The AGS Naknek Cannery is located approximately 310 miles southwest of Anchorage, 1/4 mile east of the town of Naknek, along the Naknek River in Bristol Bay. Within the town of Naknek are a few grocery stores, a post office, a few hotels/restaurants, and a hardware store. In Naknek, room and board are provided by us in our bunkhouses if you are hired. If you are in Naknek prior to being hired, hotels and camping are usually available.

Hours: Work in the freezer will be split into 12 - 14 hour shifts per day. The cannery usually works for 13 hours per day. Hours are not guaranteed and the hours worked depend entirely on how the salmon season harvest goes. We expect workers to stay on the job until released.
