Job Description:

Are you ready to be a vital part of our mission to provide electricity to remote Alaska while prioritizing safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance? At Alaska Village Electric Cooperative we are in search of a Safety and Regulatory Compliance Officer who doesn't just get the job done but is reliable, knowledgeable, self-motivated, resourceful - someone who wants to experience the adventure of rural Alaska and wants to be a part of a team that ensures safety while lighting homes across Alaska.
