    Blue Jumper Optician - Adventure in Alaska

    OPTICIAN - Adventure In Alaska

    This position requires travel to over 200 native villages. Live off the land and share in native culture. Hunting, fishing... Gold! When not traveling, you are based in Anchorage.

    Work performed primarily in the Bush areas of Alaska, with almost all of the work being done in the extreme environment of this area. Sleeping arrangements will vary and may be less than optimum at times. Travel will be by jet, small one and two engine planes, snow machine, boat, or dog sled. Working conditions will be whatever is available at the village being visited. The work day will also vary depending upon the purchasing patterns of the villagers. Approximately 15 trips will be scheduled throughout the year, amounting to between 180 to 200 days per year. Usually, there is a week to ten days between trips, which are days off. Expect to earn $40,000 a year plus. Excellent benefits include 401K pension plan with employer participation, hospitalization, dental, and life insurance.

    JOB REQUIREMENTS:
    · A good knowledge of optics, and able to perform the duties of
    an optician in the adverse conditions of the Bush areas.
    · Knowledge of survival techniques in remote areas and or
    wilderness areas, will be a plus.
    · Ability to understand different cultures, and be flexible enough
    to make people feel at ease when dealing with them.
    · Must be able to keep accurate records and reports.
    · An opticians license from any state which is transferable to
    Alaska. Most states that are licensed, are accepted by Alaska.
    If you are not licensed but are ABO certified, you will have to
    take the optician’s exam for Alaska.

    Hello-


    I have 20 years experience in our area; dispensing, education, and sales in the US and Canada. My resume was "too large to attach"..... I am on vacation till 12/27.


    I currently have my store under contract. I would like to speak with you regarding positions in Alaska. As to "bush ability" I have climbed several 14ers in Colorado, camp 40-50 nights a year, and am a happy owner of an Orvis rod and Ross reel.

    Winter nights are spent tying flies and listening to new CD's.


    Sincerely,

    Greg Veatch
