NANA Management Services (NMS) is a subsidiary of NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., a prominent Alaska Native corporation focused on delivering comprehensive support services to industrial and remote facility operations, particularly in the challenging environments of Alaska. Operating primarily in remote and rotational work settings, NMS specializes in camp services and facility management, including housekeeping, maintenance, and logistical support for industrial camps such as the Red Dog Mine. This company plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency of facilities located in austere and often harsh Arctic environments. With a commitment to safety, quality, and respect for local communities and the environment, NMS offers employment opportunities that are integral to supporting remote industrial operations.

The remote housekeeper position at NMS is a vital role requiring dedication to maintaining clean, safe, and orderly environments in remote camps, industrial facilities, food service areas, office spaces, and common areas. This position is characterized by the need to perform a diverse array of cleaning duties with attention to detail and adherence to company standards guided by NMS's mission, vision, and values. Candidates hired for this role will typically rotate through schedules with shifts lasting up to 12 hours and must be comfortable working in isolated and dormitory-style living conditions. The job is physically demanding and involves exposure to outdoor Arctic conditions, making it essential for candidates to possess a strong work ethic, excellent stamina, and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight. NMS requires that the housekeeper be a NANA Shareholder residing within the NANA region to qualify for employment.

The primary responsibilities include cleaning, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and restocking various areas such as hallways, stairways, offices, kitchens, living quarters, clinics, and common spaces. The work involves using commercial-grade cleaning equipment and chemical solutions safely and effectively. Housekeepers may also be required to perform light maintenance tasks like changing light bulbs and removing snow from entryways. Transportation to and from remote worksites might be necessary, adding an element of logistics and travel to the job. This position does not include supervisory responsibilities but demands a high degree of personal responsibility and safety awareness.

NMS prioritizes a safe and healthy work environment in its remote operations. Employees must pass a background check and drug testing as part of the compliance process and maintain adherence to all safety regulations. Additionally, NMS fosters equal employment opportunities, providing preferences for NANA shareholders while ensuring nondiscriminatory hiring practices by race, gender, age, disability, and other protected categories. The company supports diversity and inclusivity while offering a unique opportunity to contribute to Alaskan industry operations in a meaningful way. This job also requires potential candidates to have valid identification for travel compliance due to regular air or bus travel to remote sites.

Given that the role involves exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as noise, cold Arctic weather, and chemical agents, the position strongly values resilience, physical fitness, and the ability to perform manual work consistently. This housekeeper role at NMS offers a chance to work with a culturally mindful and community-focused employer, where workers can develop skills in industrial cleaning, contribute to critical operational support, and be part of a team dedicated to excellence in remote facility management.
