Point Thomson Project (PTP)
Project Specific Hiring Requirements from Alaska Frontier Constructors
Alaska Frontier Constructions has announced specific requirements employees will need to comply with in order to work for AFC. The following items are required prior to a potential employee’s employment on the PTP.
Each prospective employee must have documentation demonstrating:
- Current North Slope Training Cooperative Card (NSTC Card)
- Current CDL with good record
- Negative Tuberculosis (TB) screening
- DOT Health Card in good standing (if applicable)
- Any/All Certifications and Licenses for specific duties if applicable, i.e. Hazmat, Oil Handler, Water/Wastewater OIT, Crane CCO, Cert Rigger, Spotter/Signaling, etc.
TB screening can take three days, which poses a logistical problem when mobilizing employees to the work site. AFC is requiring employees to be screened prior to be being hired.
If prospective employees do not have the required documentation in hand they will not be eligible for employment.
In addition to the aforementioned items, AFC will require each potential employee to pass a pre-hire Medical Physical, a Functional Capacity Evaluation and a drug/alcohol screening.
All employees will receive site specific training prior to mobilizing to the project. Due to the remoteness of the PTP, it is understandable and responsible for AFC to implement strict health requirements as it can be very difficult to evacuate personnel with health issues. It is important to do all we can to prevent sending individuals to this remote location with pre-existing medical or health conditions.
Also please note that prior to mobilizing personnel to the project site all workers will be checked to ensure they are not showing signs or symptoms of being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Baggage will be screened for drug paraphernalia, alcohol and weapons. All prescription drugs must be accompanied with the legal prescription verifiable through the issuing pharmacy or doctor. Failure in any of these areas will result in the
immediate discharge of the employee
