Seasonal Housekeeper

Aleut Corporation • Adak, AK

10d

About The Position

As a Seasonal Housekeeper, you are the backbone of the guest experience at the "Birthplace of the Winds." Because the Inn consists of townhouse-style units spread throughout the Sandy Cove neighborhood, this is not a traditional hallway-based hotel role. You will work independently in a remote, rugged setting to ensure every guest feels at home in the middle of the Bering Sea.

Requirements

• Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb stairs frequently, and walk between units in various weather conditions (rain, high winds).
• Remote Mindset : Comfortable living and working in a highly isolated community with limited cell service and expensive local amenities.
• Independence: Proven ability to work with minimal supervision and manage a daily "roster" of tasks efficiently.
• Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to interact professionally with guests, researchers, and birdwatchers from around the world.
• Clearance: Ability to pass a drug screen and a background check.
• One (1) year of related experience, developing knowledge of processes and procedures.
• Familiarity with tools and techniques.
• Must possess and maintain a current Alaska driver’s license.

Responsibilities

• Unit Turnover: Perform full cleans of townhouse units between guest stays, including stripping/making beds, sanitizing bathrooms, and deep-cleaning kitchens.
• Availability Note: This role requires mandatory attendance on peak operational days (Wednesday and Saturday) to coordinate with flight/delivery schedules.
• Linen Management : Operate on-site laundry facilities to wash, dry, fold, and restock linens and towels or utilize laundry unit with additional machines and stock.
• Supply Inventory: Monitor and restock guest amenities (coffee, toiletries) and cleaning supplies, reporting shortages to the Hotel Manager.
• Detailed Cleaning : Dust furniture, clean windows (inside/out), vacuum all carpets, and mop hard floors to maintain high standards despite the island’s windy/dusty conditions.
• Maintenance Reporting: Identify and report any functional issues—such as heating, plumbing, or structural damage—to the maintenance team immediately.
• Waste Management : Collect and properly dispose of trash and recycling from units to prevent attracting local wildlife.
• Maintenance Duties: Depending on weather and workload, some lawn maintenance, minimal construction, and guest service may be required.
• Other Duties as Assigned

Benefits

• Housing & Transport: Employer-provided housing and access to a company vehicle for work duties are included.
• WIFI.
• Food/Cargo Stipend.
• Adventure: Unparalleled access to world-class birdwatching, caribou hunting, beaches, hiking and WWII historical sites during your off-hours.
• Community: Be part of a small, dedicated team helping to grow an emerging travel destination.
