Paramedic / AEMT / EMT-III – Remote Alaska

Overview

Paramedic / AEMT / EMT-III – Remote Alaska

Take your EMS experience beyond the traditional ambulance setting.

Fairweather is looking for experienced Paramedics, AEMTs, and EMT-IIIs to join our remote medical team supporting worksites throughout Alaska.

These positions are ideal for medical professionals who are confident working independently, enjoy a changing clinical environment, and want a rotational schedule that provides extended time off between assignments.

Typical schedules are two weeks on/two weeks off, although rotations vary by project. We offer both regular and fill-in opportunities.

Why Join Fairweather

• Rotational schedules with significant time off throughout the year
• Regular and fill-in opportunities
• Travel from Anchorage to the worksite provided
• Housing and meals provided while on rotation
• Comprehensive benefits available for eligible full-time employees
• Opportunity to work independently while supported by an experienced medical team
• Exposure to occupational medicine, emergency response, and remote medicine
• Assignments throughout some of Alaska’s most unique and remote locations

The Role

As a remote medic, you’ll be responsible for evaluating and caring for employees at project sites where immediate access to traditional emergency medical services may be limited.

You’ll use your EMS experience and clinical judgment to manage routine medical concerns, occupational injuries, urgent situations, and medical emergencies while coordinating with Fairweather medical leadership, Medical Control, receiving facilities, and Alaska MEDEVAC resources when necessary.

Responsibilities may include:

• Evaluate, treat, and stabilize patients
• Provide emergency and pre-hospital medical care
• Perform CPR, cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, IV therapy, oxygen administration, and other advanced medical procedures within scope
• Coordinate with Medical Control, receiving facilities, and MEDEVAC services
• Lead emergency response and scene management when needed
• Maintain accurate patient care documentation
• Maintain the project medical facility, equipment, medications, and supplies
• Support occupational health and workplace first-aid programs
• Participate in site emergency preparedness and response activities
• Work collaboratively with project safety and operations teams

What We’re Looking For

• Current state and/or National Registry Paramedic, AEMT, or Alaska EMT-III certification, as applicable to the assignment
• Current CPR/BLS and required advanced certifications for level of practice
• Three or more years of EMS experience preferred
• Strong clinical judgment and ability to work independently
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Ability to work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines
• Valid driver’s license
• Ability to meet the physical requirements of remote emergency medical work

Previous experience in remote, rural, industrial, occupational health, or austere environments is preferred but not required for every assignment.

Some projects may require additional certifications or training, including ITLS and weather observation/METAR reporting.

Working in Remote Alaska

Remote medicine is different. Depending on the assignment, you may work independently and may be on call while at the project site. Work can include weekends and holidays during your scheduled rotation, travel by small aircraft, and exposure to Alaska’s changing weather and terrain.

In return, rotational work provides something traditional EMS schedules often cannot: extended, predictable periods away from work.
