Keep Alaska’s Fleet Shining – And Your Summer Unforgettable

Imagine starting your workday surrounded by snow-capped peaks, bald eagles overhead and the salty breeze of the Inside Passage. As a Fleet Detailer with HAP Juneau Transportation Division, you’ll be part of the team that keeps Juneau’s tour and transportation vehicles looking picture-perfect for visitors arriving from all over the world. This is a hands-on, active role in one of the most breathtaking destinations in the United States – ideal for university students who want a real American work experience with a wilderness backdrop.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Washing, rinsing and drying motorcoaches, vans and support vehicles

• Restocking vehicles with supplies and checking basic cleanliness before departures
• Keeping the wash bay, tools and detailing equipment organized and safe
• Communicating with drivers and dispatch to prepare vehicles on schedule

Why Juneau, Alaska?

Juneau is the only U.S. state capital you can’t reach by road – you arrive by plane or boat, and that’s part of the magic. In your free time you can hike to the Mendenhall Glacier, ride the Goldbelt Tramway up Mount Roberts, watch humpback whales breach in Auke Bay, kayak past sea lions, fish for salmon, or soak in the endless daylight of the Alaskan summer. Staying into the fall means you may also catch the first golden tundra colors and even the northern lights. Juneau’s summer community is full of international students – you’ll make friends from around the globe.

What You’ll Get

• $16.00 per hour with approximately 35 hours per week
• A long summer-to-fall season, giving you more time to earn and travel
• Practical experience with an established hospitality and transportation employer
• A supportive, team-based environment with fellow Work & Travel participants
• An unbeatable location for outdoor adventure on your days off
• Real-world English practice and a strong reference for your CV

Who We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 with valid J-1 Work & Travel sponsorship
• Conversational English and a friendly, cooperative attitude
• Reliable, punctual and comfortable working outdoors in varying weather (rain gear is a must in Juneau!)
• Able to stand, bend, reach and lift for extended periods
• Attention to detail and pride in a job well done
• Availability for the full summer-to-fall period, including weekends
