About the role
NORTECH is an Alaska-based environmental engineering and consulting firm with offices in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Juneau. With a team of approximately 25 professionals statewide, we operate as a close-knit, highly collaborative group where every team member plays a meaningful role.

Our work takes us to remote communities, urban redevelopment sites, industrial facilities, military installations, and everything in between. Because of our size and structure, staff gain hands‑on experience with engineering concepts and professional project management early in their careers. Team members work directly with senior professionals in both field and office settings, traveling throughout Alaska and contributing to projects from planning through reporting.
We believe technical excellence is built through experience, accountability, and trust. At NORTECH, your work is valued and directly connected to the communities we serve.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
