Infrastructure
Support

Remote infrastructure in Alaska requires more than equipment — it demands people who understand the land, the logistics, and the conditions. NHE delivers infrastructure support services built around local workforce capability and deep field experience in interior Alaska.

From road and site preparation to remote project execution, our teams are equipped to mobilize quickly and work effectively in areas inaccessible to outside contractors — providing a distinct advantage for federal and state project managers.

  • Remote project work — fly-in and river-accessible sites
  • Road and site preparation for capital improvement projects
  • Grading, clearing, and surface preparation
  • Logistics support in off-grid interior locations
  • Coordination with federal agencies and local governments

  • On-the-job training embedded in federal contract work
  • Wildland fire certifications — S-130/190, ICS, and crew boss pathways
  • Mentoring and leadership development for local crew members
  • Coordination with Tanana Chiefs Conference and tribal education programs
