Career Opportunity: Document Control Clerk (Anchorage/Fairbanks)

Clean Professional Job Summary

Doyon Limited, through its subsidiary Doyon Energy Services (DES), is seeking a meticulous Document Control Clerk to support large-scale energy and infrastructure projects. This role is essential for maintaining the integrity of the “Project Filing Matrix,” ensuring that all electronic and physical records—including RFIs, PCRs, and transmittals—are archived according to strict safety and retention protocols. Based in either Anchorage or Fairbanks, with potential rotations to the North Slope, the clerk works under the Document Control Lead to compile critical “Turnover Packages” for high-stakes clients. This is a seasonal, full-time position ideal for professionals who excel in high-paced, deadline-oriented construction environments.

Key Responsibilities

Record Management & Auditing

Filing Matrix Execution: Maintain and follow procedures for the collection, categorization, and safekeeping of all project documentation to ensure instant accessibility.
Controlled Numbering: Operate and maintain a document numbering system to track officially transmitted correspondence from clients, vendors, and subcontractors.
Turnover Preparation: Assist in the assembly of official project turnover documentation, ensuring all contract record-keeping and turnover provisions are met for delivery to the client.

Project Coordination

Clerical Support: Provide administrative assistance to Project Managers and supervisors, helping staff understand compliance requirements for DES and its clients.
Log Maintenance: Update daily project logs and manage various project-related documents (RFIs, PCRs) via the DES server.
Team Integration: Proactively communicate urgent issues to project personnel, including management, engineering, and quality control teams.

Required Qualifications & Skills

Experience: Minimum of 3 years of document control experience is preferred, specifically within the pipeline or energy construction industry.
Education: High School Diploma or GED.
Technical Proficiency: Intermediate skills in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PPT) and Adobe Acrobat. Candidates may be required to undergo a skills assessment.
Industry Knowledge: Ability to quickly learn the specific nomenclature, acronyms, and documentation standards used in the Alaska pipeline construction sector.
Mathematical Aptitude: Ability to apply intermediate math (algebraic equations/fractions) and interpret complex graphs, charts, and tables.

About the Company

Doyon Limited is the regional Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) for Interior Alaska. With over 20,000 shareholders, it is one of the largest landowners in North America. Its subsidiary, Doyon Energy Services, provides specialized support to the state’s oil, gas, and utility sectors. Doyon is deeply committed to a “zero-incident” safety culture and operates under a Shareholder Preference policy, prioritizing qualified Doyon Shareholders and members of other Alaska Native corporations in its hiring processes.

Market & Industry Context

Document control is a high-stakes function in the Alaska North Slope and pipeline industry. In 2026, as project complexity increases with new energy initiatives, the accuracy of turnover packages is a primary factor in project profitability and legal compliance.

For Alaskan workers, these roles offer a unique bridge between traditional administrative work and the high-earning potential of North Slope field operations. Document Control Clerks act as the “informational spine” of a project, ensuring that multi-million dollar construction efforts are backed by bulletproof data.

Career Growth & Progression Path

Document Control Lead: Advancement into a supervisory role overseeing the entire filing matrix and a team of clerks for a major project.
Project Coordinator: Transition into project management support, focusing on scheduling, budgeting, and client relations.
Quality Control (QC) Specialist: Leverage your eye for detail to move into technical auditing and quality assurance roles.
Information Systems Manager: Use your experience with DES management systems to move into corporate IT or data governance.

Interview Preparation Insights

The Filing Matrix: Be ready to discuss your experience with specific document control software (e.g., Procore, SharePoint, or Aconex) and how you handle “version control” issues.
Industry Nomenclature: Research common pipeline acronyms. Showing you know the difference between an RFI (Request for Information) and a PCR (Project Change Request) will set you apart.
High-Volume Stress: Prepare an example of how you managed a “deadline-oriented” crisis where a large volume of data needed to be organized quickly for a client audit.
Shareholder Awareness: As an ANC, Doyon values candidates who understand their mission. Familiarize yourself with Doyon’s history and its commitment to the Interior Alaska region.

Salary & Compensation Insight

Market Estimate (Anchorage/Fairbanks): $24.00 – $32.00 per hour (DOE).
North Slope Premium: Roles performed on the “Slope” typically include significant overtime (84-hour weeks), leading to high seasonal earnings.
Status: Seasonal, Full-Time.
Point of Hire: Fairbanks or Anchorage (Candidates must be able to report to these locations for dispatch).

Work Environment & Location Insights

The work is primarily sedentary but requires high mental endurance. While town-based roles are standard 40-hour weeks, North Slope assignments involve 12-hour days, 7 days a week, in a remote camp environment. You must be comfortable working with diverse personalities in a high-intensity office setting where accuracy is non-negotiable.

Short Compliance & Equal Opportunity Note

Doyon Energy Services is a zero-incident safety and environmental culture company. Doyon grants preference to qualified Doyon Shareholders and other Alaska Native corporation shareholders. All qualified individuals, including those with disabilities, are encouraged to apply, and reasonable accommodations will be provided as per state and federal laws.
