Day Star Construction isn't just a job — it's a decision. A decision to do meaningful work in one of the most remarkable places on earth, alongside a team that takes both the craft and the life seriously.

We're looking for people who align with our mission, bring their best to the job site, and want to experience Alaska — whether that's for a single season, a few years, or a permanent change of address. If that's you, keep reading.

Working for Day Star

We run a structured season — typically May 1 through October 15 — with a standard schedule of five 10-hour days. On remote projects, we run six days. The work is hard, the pace is real, and the results are something you can stand back and look at with pride.

We don't pretend the work is easy. We do promise it's worth it.

Benefits

We take care of our people. That means:

• Housing provided — for out-of-state employees — you focus on the work, we handle the roof over your head
• Competitive wages — with performance-based incentives — your effort shows up in your paycheck
• Per diem and stipends — provided on qualifying projects and remote assignments
• Safety gear and PPE — you'll be properly equipped from day one

Flexibility

We believe work and life aren't opponents — they're partners. When the work gets done well, there's room for the rest of life to breathe. We don't manage hours for the sake of it. We manage outcomes. A person who's present for their family and rested for the job builds better than one who's run into the ground.

We extend that same respect to the life you've built — or the one you're building.

Mentorship & Training

We run a structured onboarding process tailored to where you are in your career. Some team members come in ready to lead. Others come in ready to learn. We meet people where they are.

Formal training gets you oriented. Field training is where it gets real. Our most valuable mentorship happens on the job — working alongside experienced framers and field leads who've built in conditions most crews have never seen. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a classroom. It comes from doing the work, in the cold, with people who know what they're doing.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Alaska demands a lot. It also gives a lot back — and we make sure our crew gets to experience it.

Day Star has a culture of getting outdoors and using the country we work in. That means whitewater rafting, canoeing, fishing, and hunting are a regular part of life here. We organize crew trips and take the time to enjoy what most people only see in pictures.

The midnight sun, the wilderness, the silence of a river at the end of a long week — this isn't the backdrop to the job. For a lot of our crew, it's the reason they came and the reason they stay.

6 Things You'll Miss Out On

IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY:

Living in Alaska

Fairbanks is not for everyone. It's cold, it's remote, and it asks something of you. It also offers something back that's hard to find anywhere else — space, wildness, and a community of people who chose to be here.

We welcome anyone who aligns with our mission and wants to experience this place — whether you're coming for one season to see what it's about, returning season after season because you can't stay away, or ready to plant roots and call Alaska home.

The work is here. The life is here. Come find out if you are too.
