Work Environment:

Travel throughout the Pituffik area is routinely required. Rotation schedule will be 8 weeks on and 5 weeks off with possibility of adjustment. A 66-hour work week will be the norm.
  • Pituffik, Greenland, is located approximately 755 nautical miles north of the Artic Circle with a transitory Military, DoD Civilian and Foreign National population. Ambient temperatures during the nine-month winter, where at least three months are in 24/7 total darkness, range from the mid 20-degree F, to – 40/-60 F with often times sustainable winds of 35 to 60 mph for extended periods. Though food and shelter are provided, sustainment of resupply items, to include medical supplies are tied to the Air Mobility Command cargo schedule and compatibility with changing weather patterns. Communication back to the US remains as spotty as the weather and AMC cargo delivery as Pituffik is tied to satellites and satellites do not like bad weather.
  • Daily, there are no improved roads, merely hard packed dirt, and tundra. Taxi service to work centers, dining, medical and individual quarters are available on a 24/7 basis and wait times vary. The Army Post Office (APO) receives mail (supplies and medications) once a week, though often delayed during the nine-month winter weather for various reasons, therefore medication resupply is not consistent. The arid climate, extreme temperature range within the coldest season, basic transportation being by foot and the frequency for isolation for various reasons (to include up to 72 hours/week at work) make for a challenging environment.

Physical Demands:

  • Walking, siting, typing, bending, and lifting items as required within position requirements.
  • During storm season (Sept through early April) it is not uncommon to be confined to either your quarters or your work center for extended periods of time (18 to 24 hours; up to 3 or 4 days) Medical facilities are available and amount to little more than a Critical Care/triage facility with more aggravated medical issues transported off-island once arranged. Because of the location and minimal transportation assets, arrangements can take anywhere from 4- to 10-days to evacuate a medical casualty.
