GCI
GCI, the Alaska telecommunications company, is hiring a Winter Caretaker to oversee its Agulowak Retreat during the winter closure. The retreat sits in Wood-Tikchik State Park near Dillingham, about 320 miles southwest of Anchorage, and is only reachable by air or water, so this is a genuinely remote wilderness posting for someone who is comfortable living and working alone for extended periods. The seasonal position starts October 15, 2026 and runs through the winter closure, roughly mid-October to mid-May. GCI provides a free private room and bath plus meals as part of compensation, and the role pays 26.80 USD per hour with eligibility for a location differential. The caretaker maintains a continuous onsite presence to provide security for the property, buildings, equipment and supplies, keeps the facility maintained, prepares firewood, clears snow and checks in daily with management.
