About The Position

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

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