The Communications Technician role is a core field position at Northern Skies Communications. This role supports satellite systems, RF equipment, remote deployments, and hands-on communications work in environments where reliability, adaptability, and technical discipline matter every day.
This is a hands-on role for applicants who can work with communications equipment in real-world field environments. The Communications Technician will assist with installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, deployment, and general technical support across systems related to satellite communications, RF infrastructure, and remote operations.
The mission of this position is to help deliver dependable communications capability where it matters most, including remote villages, difficult field conditions, and Alaska environments where systems must work reliably and consistently.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate meaningful real-world experience in technical, communications, or field-support work. Entry-level interest alone is not enough for this role. Applicants should present a professional background that shows dependability, technical maturity, and readiness for full-time field demands.
This role supports a wide range of communications systems and technologies across Alaska. Applicants should have familiarity with, or the ability to learn, the following systems:
Alaska residence and full-time work experience in Alaska are strongly preferred. Applicants who have lived and worked in Alaska for an extended period of time are at a significant advantage because of their familiarity with logistics, weather, remote conditions, and regional differences across the state.
Out-of-state applicants may still be considered if they can present a strong, credible case for being capable of working in Alaska’s harsh environment on a full-time basis.
This role is not suited for applicants looking for routine, highly supervised, predictable work. If you are uncomfortable with travel, remote conditions, independent responsibility, changing logistics, or being held accountable for technical outcomes, this will not be the right fit.
We are looking for disciplined, dependable people who can represent the company professionally, adapt to changing conditions, solve problems without excessive hand-holding, and contribute to mission-focused communications work across Alaska.
If you believe you meet the standards for this role, submit your résumé, certifications, and supporting information through the application portal. Applicants without a prepared résumé may complete the full online application instead.
