ABOUT POLAR FIELD SERVICES, INC.

We are a rare company. Since 1999, we've been taking our clients wherever they need to go, no matter how remote the location or challenging the conditions may be. We plan their expeditions, keep them safe in places that are anything but, and supply food, shelter, power, water, and waste removal. We then return the site to such a pristine condition no one would ever know we were there. We haven't been everywhere. Just a lot of places most people haven't.

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ARCTIC CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN

In this seasonal skilled trade position, you keep our team safe and warm by constructing and maintaining buildings at our remote field station. You coordinate and supervise a team of skilled trade craftsmen, working alongside them to complete jobs on time.

Relying on your years of carpentry and building experience, you read blueprints, plan out projects, and complete material take-offs. Since you keep careful track of our inventory, you always know exactly which materials we have on hand. Throughout the projects, you create redlines and as-builts when needed. Working in a remote location presents unique challenges, but you've never been one to back down from a challenge. You're having the adventure of a lifetime!
