As our Human Resources Generalist I – Talent Acquisition, you’ll own the full recruiting lifecycle at Greens Creek, from the moment a hiring manager identifies a staffing need to the day a new hire completes employee orientation. You’ll partner with hiring managers across the operation to plan, source, screen, and select talent; coordinate the travel and logistics that come with hiring for a remote island mine; guide candidates through pre-employment clearance; manage hiring and new employee setup in our HRIS; and deliver the new hire employee orientation that gives every new hire a strong, safe start. This position is based at our Vintage Park office in Juneau, Alaska, and supports the Greens Creek Mine, a remote underground operation located 18 miles south of Juneau on Admiralty Island, accessible only by floatplane or ferry. The role includes one day per month on-site at the mine to deliver new hire orientation. Our HR team supports over 500 employees, and the people you bring through the door shape the future of this operation. To thrive in this role, you must be organized, persistent, candidate-focused, and confident managing many moving pieces at once, both independently and as part of a close-knit team.
About Us
The Greens Creek Mine, located on Admiralty Island 18 miles south of Juneau, is an underground polymetallic mine operating since 1989, employing over 500 people. The mine is owned and operated by Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Established in 1891, Hecla has a rich history as a distinguished and respected precious metals producer. Winner of numerous safety and environmental awards, Greens Creek is seeking new team members committed to professional growth and success.
Here’s what you can expect in this role:
- Training first. We provide comprehensive MSHA training during your first four days on the job, followed by HR-specific onboarding on our recruiting systems, hiring policies, and compliance requirements.
- Full-cycle recruiting ownership. You’ll manage every open requisition from intake through offer acceptance, partnering with hiring managers on position requirements, recruiting strategy, and selection decisions.
- Sourcing and outreach. Build candidate pipelines for skilled trades, operations, technical, and professional roles through job boards, career fairs, schools, referrals, and Southeast Alaska community partnerships.
- Screening and selection. Screen applicants, administer pre-employment assessments, prepare candidate assessment reports, and help hiring managers run consistent, well-documented interviews.
- Remote-site logistics. Work with our Travel Coordinator to arrange flights for site interviews and onboarding, and build interview itineraries for candidates and interview teams.
- Offers and clearance. Prepare and extend offers, then guide candidates through background screening, pre-employment medicals, drug screens, and physical demands assessments.
- New hire orientation. Spend one day a month on-site at the mine delivering new hire employee orientation to new and rehired employees, and complete new hire benefit enrollment, and set up personnel files and HR documents so every new hire starts strong.
- HRIS and analytics. Manage recruiting, hiring, and new employee setup in the HRIS, analyze pre-hire screening results, and report recruiting metrics that improve the hiring experience for candidates and managers alike.
We conduct a two-part interview process: an initial phone screen with the hiring manager, followed by an on-site interview to ensure we’re a good match.

Human Resources Jobs in Alaska: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a human resources professional in Alaska?
Alaska does not require a state-issued license to work in human resources, so the path begins with a bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field. From there, most Alaska employers expect hands-on HR experience and recognize certifications from SHRM or HRCI, such as the SHRM-CP or PHR. Candidates targeting government or tribal employers often benefit from familiarity with Alaska-specific employment statutes and public-sector HR practices.
Which companies hire human resources professionals in Alaska?
Alaska human resources roles are posted by Hilton, Titan, and PCHS of Alaska and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Alaska's largest ongoing HR employers include state agencies, regional health systems, and natural resource companies with substantial workforces in remote or field-based settings.
Which Alaska cities have the most human resources jobs?
Anchorage, Soldotna, and Juneau have the most human resources openings in Alaska. Anchorage dominates as the state's commercial and healthcare hub, home to major hospital systems and corporate headquarters, while Fairbanks and Juneau generate consistent demand through the University of Alaska, state government offices, and regional service organizations.
Are there remote human resources jobs in Alaska?
Yes, and more than many fields, since much of HR work involves policy, systems, and communication that translates well to remote settings. About 0% of human resources openings tied to Alaska are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in the profession. Roles focused on HRIS administration, benefits coordination, and HR generalist work tend to have the most remote availability.
How can I get hired as a human resources professional in Alaska with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an HR coordinator or HR assistant role with a large Alaska employer such as a state agency, regional hospital, or tribal corporation, where structured teams can provide on-the-job development. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in payroll, office management, or administrative coordination have a natural transition path. Pursuing a SHRM student membership or completing the SHRM Essentials of Human Resources course signals commitment and gives an edge over other entry-level applicants in Alaska's smaller candidate pool.
Where can I find and apply to human resources jobs in Alaska?
You can find and apply to human resources jobs in Alaska on Migrate Mate, which lists current Alaska openings across industries and experience levels. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and goals, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
